Re: Vintage film cameras
Not the best of trips this year Johnny. Too much stress and grief on the work front unfortunately.
Didn't use cameras as much as I thought, partly because I've been to Chengdu 4 times now and didn't want to take more shots of the same places. I had a week's holiday at the end again (lousy weather) but look lots of pics with the Olympus digital. I didn't take a film camera as I wanted to travel light.
Film is there in China but not the in thing like over here. There are a couple of places I know to buy film and cameras are available on Taobao (Chinese ebay equivalent) though prices vary.
If prices are high over here, I'll wait until the next ebay £1 selling fee offer and try to offload a few surplus things.
Still using HP5 too. I've tried the XP2 because my local shop can develop it but prefer the HP5 tones. Need to try the Kentmere again though. First impressions of that were good.
