rich815 Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 Hello all, I'm posting here hoping a member in Beijing might reply. I used to live in Beijing from 1998-2001 and knew all the little hide-away photo shops where one could get the better films and darkroom supplies. But with all the changes in China recently I fear that many shops may no longer be there. My wife is in Beijing now visiting her sister and she's looking to pick-up some ERA B&W 35mm rolls and some GP3 120 for me on the cheap. When I lived there there was a decent shop north of the Wangfujing main shopping district that was in a small alley behind a large bookstore about 1 block north of the west end of the Longfu shopping alley. It had good developing service, pro Fuji and Kodak films and then some (There was also a tiny large-format supply store a few stores east of it). I remember them also carrying Fuji 100SS, Shantou ERA and GP3 at good prices. Anyway, the wife is there for another week and she's going to hopefully load up her carry-on for me. Last I remember ERA and GP3 could be had for something like 6 RMB (0.80 cents USD). Sources for film in Beijing has been discussed on this site in the past but as mentioned things are changing so fast over there that I'm wondering if the place I mention is still the best shop to go for this, or does anyone have any recent experience of a place that might be either cheaper or a better place to buy in Beijing? Thanks much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
