New Supplies in Hong Kong

[1626]

Just another quick question. What would a mint 65mm f5.6 fujinon go for? What about any other 65mm? From what I can find online they are all about 500USD or more. If that's thhe case then 600 with a lens board might not be bad..

Hong Kong is only good for new stuff, you would have little luck finding bargain even in local forum. Mainland China (Guangzhou/Shanghai/Beijing ) would have a wider and more resonable offer.

BTW, would you be shooting your LF in Hong Kong?

I live in Shanghai and I bought most of LF gears from Ebay and I avoid buying from HongKong sellers. 2nd hand LF are overpriced in China and Hongkong and usually are overrated by sellers. I never lost any stuffs, but sometimes I have to pay tax to custom. I usually shipped my gears to my US friend address and brought back to China when I did business trip to US. If you want to ship those items to China, you may avoid UPS (they almost automatically collect tax for costom), please use USPS express mail or Fedex express mail.

Thanks for the info. All my research points to this. Buy on EBay or some other place and either ship to China or my parents address and have some carry it over or something similar.

Thanks for all the help. Can't wait to start burning film again.

If you are looking for gear at reasonable prices then sign on to the local Hong Kong photo forums and do a WTB at the trading section. Most people post in English.

Hi, can I ask what those photo forums are?
