Fujifilm Natura Classica月光底片機

現代科技是一種迷失,特別是在全球化商業機制的運行下,幾乎人們都掉到深不見底的巨大深淵裡;3C產品就是個例子。當年Neil YoungFreedom專輯中憤怒斥責美國社會的用完即棄的消費主義,如今台灣仍是重蹈覆轍。

相機便是其中一個例子。攝影術自西元1826年,法國發明家 Joseph Nicephore Niepce製造出第一張長達八小時曝光時間的照片起,這149年間,不斷在底片材料與乳劑的改良,相機功能的演進,攝影進入非常成熟的階段;直到1975年,早在個人電腦、網際網路與光碟出現之前,柯達公司應用電子研究中心服務的工程師 Steven Sasson 以設計出一台名為電子手持式靜態相機(Handheld Electronic Still Camera) 拍攝出全世界第一張數位影像,於是整個攝影工業與攝影史進入第二次攝影工業革命。


在今天,所有的相機製造商都投入了數位這塊大餅,甚至連德國的徠卡(Lecia)、祿徠(Rollieflex)與哈蘇(Hasselblad)都不例外,因為整個機制都培養了消費者喜新厭舊的消費習慣,因而商品於是更趨近於流行化,若不加緊腳步在商品上的推陳出新,公司便賺不到利潤,為了降低成本,製造更多的產品,來順應潮流的週期,於是大多數的相機的零組件與個人電腦一樣,均不耐用。

由於科技的進步與普及,讓台灣人擁有不只一台以上的相機,使得攝影不再侷限於少數族群;但是攝影背後的意義卻無多少長進,甚至還退步,由於便利,也變得更速食,一道delete的指令,便可將拍壞的影像扔的無影無蹤,也因為便利,也更不重視拍攝的影像,不尊重被攝者的存在。在台灣,四十年前的沙龍攝影,為人詬病,然而今天呢?不過只是類比器材更換成數位的差異,大多數千篇一律而浮濫的美少女人像寫真,仍然是大沙文主義的作祟,僅僅是滿足醉翁之意不在酒的虛榮與樂趣罷了!

去年底,跟同事買了生平第一台便利相機,幾次測試,更發現其便利性,也更容易深入影像背後的意義,在今天一片數位的浪潮下,還是見到有些日系商對於便利底片相機的堅持。這台Fujifilm旗下新產品Natura Classica所標榜的是NPNatural Photo)技術,即使在較微弱的光線下,仍能得到品質良好的照片。以下是它的規格:

底片與黑膠唱片的觀念是一樣的,黑膠的音質是一種平順、溫暖與失真,姑且我們不探討播放黑膠時的氛圍是甜蜜或是懷舊,以技術上的觀點來看,同等價位的CD唱盤與黑膠唱盤,在擴大機、揚聲器與線材等相同的環境下,黑膠音質一定比CD好,因為這牽扯到D/A之間的轉換,數位以01的元素微分成無數的小點來逼近平滑的聲音曲線,而這關鍵就在於要分割成多少個點才能等同於曲線的平滑度,完全決定在D/A與取樣頻率的高低,轉換與取樣分割的越精細,越昂貴。另一項很主觀,從黑膠轉移到CD的樂迷普遍會有個狀況,就是對CD音質的不適應,說的白一些,就是太乾淨了,甚至有些銳利,說得抽象些,也就是太物質、機械感,太冷調,也就是少了人的存在;同樣的底片所成像的質感也是一樣,鹵化銀正代表著一種人存在的意義。

而且攝影的最終目的,不也就像文章一樣,在陳述一種論點、心情或詩意,也正表達了人這種物種的情緒與感知,不需要太在乎是什麼樣的筆寫的,能夠很精確的表達作者的意旨,這才是一個作者所必須訓練的目標,一般人往往忽略了最終目的,一味的追求器材上的虛榮,這也是一種迷失,就像用鋼筆或毛筆書寫,不斷地在找尋更昂貴、品質更好的筆,卻忽略了鋼筆與毛筆所表現出不同的技法是一樣的,以不同的工具搭配上不同屬性的文章,並將此工具發揮到極致,這才是應該追求的目標。

人不就該是決定的主體,而非受客體主宰的一種動物嗎?

Hi! I just purchased a Natura Classica (it arrived last night from Japan) and have been trying to figure out how to turn off the date feature so I do not get photos with dates on them. Could you tell me how to do this? The manual is in Japanese and I can;t read Japanese yet. Thanks a bunch! Viv

I figured it out playing with around with the buttons. I've now turned off the date feature. Next thing I'm working off is disabling that pesky beeping. Thanks anyway! :)

Hi, Viv this camera's function is quite easy. You can figure out at the short time, but the pesky beeping sound can't turn it off. There is no any function with it. Anyway, hope you enjoy it! Nice to meet you!

HI,因為找Natura資料無意經過,
非常認同結尾的觀點

"一味的追求器材上的虛榮,這也是一種迷失"

共勉之
:)

To AT:

過去年輕時,也同樣犯過這些毛病
總覺得需要某某器材,便不斷添購,
其實到現在,最常用,也最好用的就是50的標準鏡.
攝影者與被攝者的距離,不在於焦距的長短,
而是在於攝影者與被攝者的關係,
當與被攝者間沒有距離時,
即便是傻瓜相機都能拍到非常細微的情感,
意念絕對是開發新技術的泉源,
而非被技術與器材牽著鼻子走.

感謝來訪,個人非常欣賞您的部落格!
還盼未來能多交流.
