Josh, I don't know about Kodak, but they make Shanghai 4x5 (BW 100 asa), so if you need any you might be able to get it there cheap.
Have fun.

I am sure your hotel concierge can direct you to the Xing Guan Photographic Equipment Market. Details and other stuff here:

Hi Rayt, Just noticed you are based in Hong Kong? I am currently also in Hong Kong and was wondering if you knew of any places that might sell 160NC? I did see some in a shop in Stanley Street, something "scientific" in the title, just down from colour six but it was unrefrigerated and quite expensive.. Any other suggestions? I also tried a place in Mong Kok that was suggested but they only had 120 film. If worst comes to the worst i may have to buy one box at least for the aforementioned. Ok, thanks again, much appreciated! Cheers Josh

Hi Josh, Photo Scientific is very expensive. I have only ever shopped there once and there will never be a second time. There is a small one hour photo lab in Tsim Sha Tsui that imports all kinds of film and they might have 160NC. Give them a call at 27233266. Dot Well Photo, 42 Carnarvon Road. It is on the side street below Champagne Court where all those used camera shops are located. You can also try Kowloon Photo in Yau Ma Tei. I don't know the street off hand but it is an authorized Leica dealer so calling Schmidt might get you the address. They are one of the last shops in HK selling chemicals and refrigerated film.
