Thanks! I might get in touch if I end up in your neighbourhood. I asked because Hong Kong prices seem significantly lower. Looking at your signature I was thinking I could borrow a body and a couple of lenses - you wouldn't even notice
HK is not all that much cheaper than China (and often not at all) because they are catering to the tourist trade. I've found that prices in China are sometimes even cheaper than the USA (when I bought my K7 here in Shanghai it matched the cheapest on-line price I could find in the USA). It does depend on what you are looking for though. New prices tend to be higher than the USA but cheaper than Europe whereas used prices are generally higher here that either.

I wouldn't swap my K5 for any other camera though (well maybe a D700 if it's going to be a straight swap)

Hi. Nice pictures of some lovely scenery. I hope to be travelling on my bicycle soon (maybe going Beijing - Vietnam. I know, it will take some time!) so it is always nice to be inspired.
Mind if I ask: I need to replace some recently stolen kit, would it be cheaper to buy from Shanghai than UK or Europe? Looking at maybe a K5 + 1 prime (da 35 macro or da 40mm).
The link to Smugmug is not working btw.
I've found prices in Shanghai to be quite a bit (10-20%) lower than in the U.K. for new gear, and have bought nearly all my cameras / new lenses here. p.m. me if you are going to be in Shanghai otherwise there are plenty of places in BJ to buy gear (check it before you leave Denmark though) !

Cheers Snappy - appreciated. It really is lovely (and very very large !) once you get out of the cities into the real China.
Thanks for your comments Andrew - yes, it really was UK-like weather !

However I'm not 100% sold on the processing though I can't put my finger (at nearly 05.00 in the morning) on exactly what it is that's bothering me.
Well done indeed - let's see more !
