HK Photo Equipment Flea Market 2014 Brief Report

[calvin83]

I went to the Photo Equipment Flea Market today. It is an part of the Hong Kong International Photo Festival 2014.


As the space is limited, the booths are more or less the same as two years ago


Another view


Most booths are selling manual focus lens


A small number of them selling films and accessories


Some of them are well-known sellers, like kevincameras

Many items displayed are expensive lenses or camera. It is almost impossible to find bargains. I ended up collecting few name cards and some free souvenirs.

Thanks for viewing.

Haven't expected to see that!! Here it is similar, not really worth going anymore, prices dominated by ebay.

[calvin83]

Yes. It is not a good chance to buy things but it is nice to see lots of expensive stuff there. However, I never to expensive stuff because I am afraid of an accidental damaging the expensive lenses which cost up to 100K+ HKD.

Thank you very much!
Sometimes I buy on German camera flea markets some defect lenses for parts, or small parts, or "unknown" lenses with not reputation/bad reputation. Those things are cheap, and cause one could buy several things, probable cheaper than on Ebay with additional shipping.

[calvin83]

Yes. There are lots cheap goodies on Germany as they are made locally. Sadly, there is no unknown lenses I can find in my visit.

Meanwhile I don't go there to buy things anymore, I go there to meet some nice people who I always meet there.

Thanks for sharing Calvin,I don't get to see markets like this and appreciate seeing something new.

Thanks for all the reply.

I am not familiar with most dealers there because I buy my lenses from Ebay. However, it is a good chance to see something you can't afford.
