My wife will visit Hong kong next week. Any info for shopping for film will be appreciated or places to visit for her. Buying leica is impossible so may be she can grab me some kodak ektar or some other negatives.

 

Thanks

Mehmet

Tin Cheung has a new store at the K11 Arcade in Tsim Sha Tsui. The store is on the top floor and tucked into a corner, but it's worth a visit. They have a very nice Leica Boutique (that's actually larger than the Leica stores in IFC2 or Times Square), and lots of other gear (bags, tripods, cases, straps, and all major brands of cameras and lenses). Sells cameras, lenses and related photographic accessories - Tin Cheung Camera Company

 

Tin Cheung also has a "classic" store dedicated to only used items, but they often have a fairly decent selection of Leica bodies and lenses. This store is located on Mody Road across from the Holiday Inn Golden Mile. I believe the metro exit is M2 from the TST station.

 

Have cash and be prepared to bargain if you really want something. Also know worldwide prices for any items you are specifically interested in, as this is HK so pricing is very much "what we think the customer will pay".

 

The list of un-reputable places selling camera equipment in TST and Mong Kok is long. Tread carefully.

 

Also if you get a chance I highly encourage you to visit Annie Barton 1972. The owner, Victor Chen, is passionate about photography. In addition to his own brand of high quality leather camera straps he carries the Wotancraft brand. The store is a little hard to find, as you have to take a lift to the 2nd floor, but it's worth a visit. The store is in Central, but check the website for a map.
