swamiji Posted February 21, 2011 Share #1 Posted February 21, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) I have recently moved to Chengdu, but have not found any quality camera shops or film labs. One shop will process 120 film but the quality was really bad, i am afraid to process my 35mm film here. I don't want to go to Beijing, shanghai, or hong kong for all my work, it's just to far. I have found two camera shops down town that carry D3 level of camera, and one had a couple of used M lens. I asked about them, and the sales man just suggested for me to buy a D3X... Argh Anybody have any ideas? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

swamiji Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted February 21, 2011 I am finding limited success with that. I am working with Michael bass on getting a slim flash attachment to work with my Viso. The problems are varied, first I cannot get to his web site as both Blogspot and facebook are blocked. Another is method of payment can be difficult, yet another is Chengdu uses an old format of residence addressing, I am not completely sure what my address is. I have my address in Chinese but not all web based sellers can handle this address. But mostly I have gotten used to having a personal relationship with my camera dealer, I guess I am spoiled. One option is to continue with my US dealer, but shipping would be a pain. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swamiji Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share #4 Posted February 21, 2011 On the other hand, my M9 is a bit of a celebrity amongst photogs here. I went out with a small group, and they took more pictures of my M9 than anything else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
