Visiting Quancheng printing shop: who is still developing photos when digitally rampant?
with the popularity of digital cameras The film camera has long been out of sight. There are fewer and fewer film shops that can develop films in Ji'nan, and it takes a long time to develop films. Still insist on playing film is mainly a specific group of photographers, in the face of the decline in physical stores, many people turn to seek online wash.
film development needs to wait a week
recently, the reporter visited several photo processing shops, print and print clubs and image galleries in Ji'nan. In the survey, it was discovered that the stores that can be printed and printed in Quancheng were rare.
in the vicinity of the mountain teacher, the reporter asked more than a dozen photo printing stores, of which only two can wash film, film, and one can only wash the film, and can't wash the film. Li Yuan, a shopkeeper of Hongyuan photo studio, said that only three of them could wash old films. Many shops did not wash the machines, and they could not wash them. The owner of another image shop said he had no longer flushed the film since the beginning of last year. Now, almost no one has flushed the film, and it's too hard to wash the film, and it won't be done.
in Greenbelt studios, reporters visited more than a dozen stores, and only two of them could develop films. Subsequently, the reporter dialed 8 photos of the printing shop online, only one shop said it could be washed.
except for the film shops that are hard to find, film washing and waiting cycles are also very long. A shop in Licheng maintains that women are scattered and have little rinse. We usually save up and start the machine again two weeks later. But Mr. Wang, the owner of friendship pictures and pictures, said that it would take about ten and a half months to rush through a volume. At least ten dozen films are needed to make profits in a day, so we have to wait to save enough. If you are in a hurry to pick up the film, you have to pay an urgent charge of 30-50 yuan.
the reporter learned from a senior photo enthusiast that Ji'nan is now opening the machine to flush the film every day, with only about four roads left, and most of the other stores open a machine for a week. When
is hot, wash the
to a peak. At that time, there was a deposit in the hands of the residents, and the price of the film camera dropped. The simple fool camera was 3500 yuan, a roll of 20 yuan, not expensive, and the ordinary families were equipped with a camera. Mr. Wang recalls.
at that time, the sales of film in the shop was very popular. Saturday and Sunday are all night flushing. People who buy film and film are queuing up. Three or four wash the hair one by one, and take the tablets in 30 minutes.
2005 became an inflection point. Digital cameras are beginning to spread and film goes down. At first, people took a 3.5 inch floppy disk to rinse them. The pictures were slow and the pictures were slow. The digital color expanding machine is not advanced enough. It takes one or two days from washing to taking, and the price is two yuan, which is much more expensive than the film. But slowly, the number of people who washed digital photos became more and more. Mr. Wang recalls. After
2005, the development trend of film and digital is completely the opposite. Digital color expansion machine is constantly updated, now digital flushing 5 minutes can produce a picture, the price is also down to six or seven Mao Yizhang (six inches), the quality of the picture is not comparable to the film flushing. The number of people developing the film has been decreasing year by year, and correspondingly, the time of developing the film has been getting longer and longer.
Mr. Wang said that many of the circle of friends have canceled film washing because the machine is too much of a place and can't make a profit. The film has been flushed for about 2-3 years and is expected to continue for a period of time.
Mr. Wang currently has only two people in the shop for film washing. The new 90's shop assistant is not even able to film. Mr. Wang bought the film machine in the shop in 2004. It can be used for ten or twenty years. After the machine is eliminated, there will be no new machines.
film enthusiasts have switched to
film, but some people still insist on using film. A number of shopkeepers said that there were nostalgic elderly people who had photography.
