Where to buy film in Hong Kong

Here are some websites and shops where you can buy film in Hong Kong.

CameraFilmPhoto
Selling lots of different film, like cinestill, Agfa, Rollei everything really and also camera bags, darkroom accessories. Looks like a cool site, but I haven't bought anything from there myself.
http://camerafilmphoto.com/

Meteor
Same here, looks like a good site.
http://www.meteor.com.hk/shop/en/6-films

LOG-ON
Log-On sells Lomo cameras, Polaroid Cameras, Instax products and a bit of 35mm film, but not very consistently. But every time I'm there, I get some Agfa Vista. I think they also will be selling  the INSTAFLEX which is available to buy in just 9 days.
City Super Log-On

Yahoo Auctions
is really popular in Hong Kong and it is alright sometimes for buying film or even cameras, especially Holgas, unfortunately it is all in Chinese, but if you already have a Yahoo account you can contact the seller (with some help from google translate) and arrange the trade somewhere. I bought a Minolta HiMatic 7S there once in really good condition and with 3 months guarantee!

Here's a Shop selling Lomo Film

Stanley Street (or what is left of it)

If you know of any other shops where you can buy film in Hong Kong, please let me know.

Analogue Photography in Hong Kong V : David Davidoff

Lei Yue Mun, Hong Kong
Yau Ma Tei Photography

There are a lot of great street photography shots on David Davidoffs flickr stream, but I especially like his photos of rural parts of Hong Kong like Lei Yue Mun. Check out his flickr stream here.

 
When and why did you start taking analogue photos?
Oh, let me think about it...it should be about few years ago(about 6-7 years)...I always like analogue stuff(e.g. Vacuum Tubes, LPs...), it seems nearly close to life and humanity.
Originally, I know nothing about photography. Firstly, I start to collecting vintage cameras, I am so curious what image will be come out if taken by these vintage cameras...then, I start to tacking my first roll...second, third...till now.
I observed that life gone too soon, something disappears and missing soon...I just want to record them and freeze the moments of life...


How many cameras do you have and which one is your favorite?
Ummm, I haven't count it clearly, but I guess it's about 200-300 or more...and which one is my favorite?? hahaha...which I held it on my hand...even if, I always bring my Leica M3 in my bag, this is a sharp weapon of street photography.
