Seagull TLR in Shang Hai?

[Runz]

Hi

I need some advise about where to get a seagull TLR in shang hai?

I heard of xingguang and unsure about Huanlong where abouts (is it still around? last saw in forum its under renovation. any updates?). Are these the best places to get the camera?

Also how much should I expect to pay for a 4a 109 or 4a 107?

All help appriciated! Thanks in advance!

Regards.

Just a update for those who may be interested.

My friend found the Saegull 4A-109 in XingGuang Shanghai going for SG$400 before bargaining. Not sure if its a good price.

be extra cautious when you buy from there.
my crumpler-alike Godspeed went half life after three hours of use.. The strap is half
torn from bag. Costed me S$35..

Hi,

Sorry, quoted wrongly, its SG$440 for 4A-109 and SG$370 for 4A-107.

Anyway thanks for the link, skopio.
I found a good deal in Adorama is selling it for SG$425, so difinetly getting 'con' in shanghai if I pay SG$440. haha... but then again plus US shipping its like going to be 500 plus so still slightly more worth it to get there. haha...

dRebelXT thanks for the tip... guess I will need to be extra carefull and hope XingGuang is as trustworhty as recommended here.

no prob. but the price in the website is a rough guide. i'm quite sure u can get a better one when u go down personally to the shop. so check it out first.

i'm going shanghai too, next month.
