The 30 -year persistence of the camera repair veteran artist, and 30,000 old cameras "rose back to life" in his hands "

Qi Zi, electrode iron, universal meter ... The repair table is filled with a variety of maintenance tools. The edges of the repair table have been severely worn, and the yellowed countertop shows the traces of time. There is such a camera maintenance shop on Bao'an South Road, Luohu District. It has been nearly 20 years since the store has opened in 2003. Liu Zhanxiong, a maintenance master in the store, is currently one of the few masters with traditional film camera maintenance technology. He There have been 30 years of work experience since entering the trip since 1992. In the past 30 years, there were no less than 30,000 cameras on Liu Zhanxiong's "death". He witnessed the development of the camera industry and also witnessed the butterfly changes in Shenzhen.

Turn interest into lifetime career

Liu Zhanxiong was from Meizhou, Guangdong. As early as high school, he ended with the camera. At that time, the camera was a luxury, and there were not many people in the small county. When Liu Zhanxiong went to high school, when he saw that his classmates had cameras, he borrowed it. He loved it for the first time and was too much to love.

In 1987, Liu Zhanxiong came to a factory in Shenzhen through recruitment. The fellow people opened a shopping mall selling photos in the photography building. When Liu Zhanxiong and his friends went out to play, they often rented the camera of the owner to take pictures. In 1992, by chance, the mall was just missing the maintenance staff of the store. At the invitation of the fellow villagers, Liu Zhanxiong left the factory and started camera maintenance in the photography building.

Liu Zhanxiong mentioned that at that time, the place where Shenzhen was able to repair the camera, except for a small number of maintenance departments specially set up by the newspaper, was that he was more than 1 meter wide in the mall. "Without experience, no one guidance, just disassembled it by yourself, and slowly explored." For Liu Zhanxiong, repairing the camera is like crossing the river with the stone, the camera will be sent to the camera, and a little bit of the failure to detect the fault. The reason is to repair the damaged parts and know the structure and operating principle of different cameras in the process. I explore the camera maintenance in this drop of research.

During this period, Liu Zhanxiong mainly maintained the traditional film camera. Later, with the appearance of digital cameras, he learned the maintenance method of digital cameras. He introduced that traditional cameras are different from digital cameras that are now intuitive and modular, and their structures are more complex and accessories are more fragmented. They often encounter situations that need to be polished and even reorganized. Meticulous, patience and meticulous.

There are no less than 30,000 cameras with "death and return to life"

In 2003, due to the relocation of the mall, Liu Zhanxiong left the mall. Subsequently, it opened a shop to repair camera on Baoan South Road, which has been nearly 20 years.

Liu Zhanxiong's shop is about 20 square meters, entering from a shop head of more than 1 meter, and the glass showcases on the walls on both sides are in sight. On the left showcase, a variety of cameras and lenses are displayed. There are large and small parts. The inside is Liu Zhanxiong's repair platform. The repair table is covered with various maintenance tools. Its edges have been severely worn, and the yellowed countertops have also revealed the traces of time. A very old -fashioned machine tool beside the repair table was noticeable. This machine was purchased by Liu Zhanxiong's opening. It was mainly used to modify the lens and "followed" him for more than ten years.

"One of the fun of repairing the camera is to be able to reach a variety of cameras." Liu Zhanxiong's repair camera includes Nissan, Europe, America, domestic, and all types. , Fuji, Hasu, Seagulls, Phoenix ... He is like a few treasures in each model. He showed a recent repair list to a late night reporter, and the encoding in the upper right corner was shown to be 19548. Liu Zhanxiong introduced that the number represents the number of orders after opening the store. Some orders need to be repaired, and nearly 10,000 cameras that have been repaired when they have worked in the photography building before. There are more than 30,000 cameras.

Some unique models encountered during the maintenance process also made Liu Zhanxiong very happy. He showed a folding camera called the Vitessa Vitessa VITESSA in the late night. Also known as "Shikumen". Liu Zhanxiong introduced that this camera was produced in Germany. In the mid -1950s, it was loved by people for its peculiar and clever design and advanced processing technology. It has a history of nearly 70 years.

In Liu Zhanxiong's view, traditional mechanical cameras are more like a piece of art. It has been repaired with traditional cameras with many years of craftsmanship.

Fresh sense and challenge coexistence in the maintenance process

The structures of various models have different structures, some simple and complicated, and the problems that occur are not the same. During the process of repairing the camera, large and small "incurable diseases" often occur, but every time these problems are encountered, Liu Zhanxiong is always "abnormal abnormalities. excited".

Liu Zhanxiong mentioned that the experience of repairing a Meita X700 was impressed. At that time, the power supply of the camera's release of the shutter burst, and the infiltrated electrolyte corrosive circuit board caused the camera to fail. According to the conventional operation, he tried repeatedly and failed to find the cause of the fault several times. After a few hours of groping, Liu Zhanxiong discovered that after the liquid was infiltrated on the board, it could not be cleaned anyway. With the circuit board as the intermediary, the two ends on the welding of the two ends on this welding, and a slight leakage would occur. Later, he chose to take out the lines at both ends, directly welded and wrapped it with insulating materials, and then put it inside the camera. As a result, the camera "returned to life" in his hands.

Such scenes are common in Liu Zhanxiong's 30 -year maintenance career. For each camera sent to the store, he can always sink to repair it, and sometimes even work until the early morning. He admits that this job is more supported by feelings. Due to excessive eyes, he put on the old flower mirror at the age of 40; but at the same time, he can get in touch with a variety of cameras, and "right medicine" has developed a different different from different medicines. Repair methods, freshness and challenges coexist, are also very harvested.

With superb craftsmanship, Liu Zhanxiong has a lot of popularity in the circle, attracting camera enthusiasts from all over the country. In recent years, the old -fashioned camera has set off a retro wave among the young groups. Liu Zhanxiong revealed that there are many young people who come to the store now, and most of them are post -95s and post -00s. "Many customers don't even have my shop's" age "." He joked.

The persistence and feelings of old hand artists

The years are like shuttle, and the shops on Bao'an South Road have changed round after round. Liu Zhanxiong's store is almost the oldest shop in that area. The two Shenzhen landmark buildings, which are 100 meters apart from the store -the newly built Diwang Building has a history of more than 20 years, and the small maintenance store has also witnessed the Jingji 100 from scratch. As witnesses and witnesses who are renewed and the city's booming, Liu Zhanxiong has quietly appeared on the hand of the camera.

"Doing this line, you can eat enough, making a lot of money." Liu Zhanxiong said that camera maintenance is manual work, with high requirements for manpower, and more people who are willing to persist out for the love of old craftsmanship. The two apprentices in the shop were his nephews. One of them had been following him for 20 years. From watching the master repairing the camera and disassembling the camera by himself, it has been able to take one side now. "But now I rarely see young people willing to learn this craft." Liu Zhanxiong regretted.

In fact, the burden in Liu Zhanxiong's shop is not small. Even though the retro trend brings a group of young customers who are interested in old -fashioned cameras, in the era when digital cameras and smartphones prevail, store turnover is still not as good as before. In addition to the store rent, he also provides two apprentices' monthly salary. In the past few years, in order to reduce the burden, he cut out part of the space in front of the store, which formed a small door of more than 1 meter wide.

Despite often entering, Liu Zhanxiong insisted on opening the store. In his opinion, the camera repair this old craft carried his 30 years of youth years, and it doesn't matter if you make money or not. Sometimes customers take the camera to consult, and Liu Zhanxiong will take the initiative to help them clean the camera lens, but he does not charge whether it provides consultation or cleaning the lens. "Customers' old cameras can continue to record the beautiful scene, and they are all happy," he said.

In addition to work, Liu Zhanxiong also likes to take the old camera to shoot the city scene everywhere. The lively scene of farmers' harvest, high -rise urban scenery ... Picking up a color champion under the white light, Liu Zhanxiong excitedly and the late night reporters introduced the story behind the film. In his opinion, this film is just like the old camera, witnessing the change of urban people and things.

This year is the 30th year of Liu Zhanxiong's repair camera. In terms of repairing the camera, he has devoted himself to 30 years and patience, and is now reluctant to leave. Looking back at the 30 years, Liu Zhanxiong wrote in the circle of friends: "From persistence, persistence to reluctance, it is 30 years!" He mentioned that Hong Kong customers who met in the Photo Building more than 20 years ago are still in touch. They scratched a lot of shots from all over the world to help Liu Zhanxiong help to modify.

"As long as there is a need, I am still willing to do it all the time," he said.
