Default Where to buy gears in Hong Kong?

Going to HK next month, thinking of shopping for some camera gears there, such as the Canon 1.4x II tc or some lens.

Any tips or recommendations of shops in Hong Kong?

Thanks in advance..

Camera gear, not gears. Unless u are looking for: Toothed wheels that engage another toothed mechanism in order to change the speed or direction of transmitted motion.

Camera gear itself is already in its plural form.
