Has anyone had any experience purchasing photography equipment from either Wing Shing or Man Shing in Hong Kong?

Just curious as good things have been written about these shops on the Internet, which I understand are both actually under one owner.

Apparently they have more competitive pricing as well than the more well known camera suppliers on Stanley Street in Central.

I never been to those 2 shops before (pass by). If you happen to go to Tsim Sha Tsui area or visiting Avenue of Star.
You may try Tin Cheung Camera . They offer great price.

Marc,

Better late than never.  I lived in HK for 5 years and I just moved to Bangkok.  Wing Shing Photo is a very good store.  I have purchased my Nikon film camera and some Nikon lenses there.  They are usually well stocked and their prices are amongst the most competitive in HK.  You have to be careful when shopping at some of the stores in Mong Kok.  The sales people can be very slippery.  However, Wing Shing is a very reputable store and I have never had any problem there.

Marc,

I have bought almost all my equipment in

KINEFOTO Ltd.
66-68 Stanley St., G/F, Shop 1,
Central,

Wing Shing or Man Shing are big stores in Mongkok always packed. They have a lot of stock but I prefer small shops where you talk with vendors and have time to try the gear.
If you come for a short trip and already know what you want it is maybe the best solution.
