Alejandro,

Thanks for your comment.

At Photochance (see address above) they sell Kodak Tri-X for 32 yuan. It looks like you can get it a bit cheaper at Taobao.com. I recently also bought Ilford HP5 for 32 yuan in Shanghai, and have previously bought at about the same price in Beijing.

I don’t know about E-6 films, as I never shoot it.

Good luck!

Ken,

Yes, 108 rmb sounds too much. I have only scanned one roll of E-6 and they charged me the same as for other films, 40 rmb, at Photochance.

The shop at Yashow is on the left side of the building (if you face the building) and it’s called Jiayi Photo Studio. They do scans for about the same price as Photochance but the files are lower resolution. I prefer Photochance for this reason.

As for used equipment, I’ve never bought that “new” equipment used in China, so I don’t really know. Older things does not seem to be that well priced here, compared to eBay. So perhaps those markets are not the right place to go for things like that.

I have been looking around Wukesong and the other photographic complex at Maliandao Lu for used equipment, in particular Nikon D300 and a 20-35mm zoom. Prices for used equipment are quite close to the new prices, so who would bother with used equipment ? How much discount shall I ask for ? e.g. used D300 asking price around RMB8500, and used 20-35mm f2.8 Nikon zoom is around RMB5300.

Thanks

Hi,

I am trying to get a roll of 35mm E-6 slides transferred to CD-ROM, but the shop at SanYuanQiao told me that it would cost RMB3 per picture, so for a roll of 36 exp, it would cost RMB108. Surely too much for a simple scan to CD ?

Another blogger said that there is a shop to the west of YaShow market that would do it, but I was there this morning, but did not see it. Maybe too much snow obstructing the view ?
