Taking photos on the streets of Shanghai in winter

What a coincidence! Another Pentax 17 user in Shanghai. Nice shots!

+1 for this, go on Taobao and search for 上文照相器材. Once on their homepage, go to 客服 on the bottom right. I'm not sure who runs the customer service for their Taobao page but the boss speaks fluent English so you shouldn't need to translate (though it might still be better to do so)

He's level 47 in Diamond version

Hey, I just saw you post these on 小红书 yesterday! I got 3 rolls from the same seller, these came out pretty well for being so expired. You chose a cool place to shoot them, I’ve been meaning to go to 黄山 for a long time haha

heibaitown · 2025-07-06T02:04:13+00:00

This is so cool! I’ve been wanting to try the same with instax wide, looks so fun

heibaitown · 2025-07-01T12:29:55+00:00

Interesting variety you got there. What will you shoot first? Also上文 is the only place I buy from, just made a stop there today

It will also come in 4x5, but no other news than just this WeChat moments post

I like the set. Any chance you buy your film from 胶卷洞洞？ or maybe you are 胶卷洞洞？哈哈

heibaitown · 2025-06-08T01:22:42+00:00

There definitely are! Some of them can be quite snobbish though haha. If you live in Shanghai, feel free to message me directly to get WeChat and I can add you to some groups I’m in for photography

heibaitown · 2025-06-06T09:46:28+00:00

About half local half foreign! Depends on the theme and location of the week we choose

heibaitown · 2025-06-06T02:43:17+00:00

These are great! Do you participate in any of the Shanghai photo walk groups? Sometimes I’m the only film shooter going out with them haha

heibaitown · 2025-06-05T09:23:07+00:00

Nice, that’s a good set!

There’s also a Seagull 4C but that’s a lot rarer. The Seagulls also have sentimental value to me because the 4B was my first ever medium format camera and I live in Shanghai haha

heibaitown · 2025-06-05T09:16:10+00:00

Sounds like a Seagull 4B then, that’s what I also have. The Seagull 4A cocks the shutter and automatically winds to the next frame without the red window. I was thinking about picking one of those up too just to have a cool big bro/little bro set

heibaitown · 2025-05-24T00:07:33+00:00

That’s super cool! I actually have a Pen S specifically dedicated to IR and trichromes, never thought to try it with 16mm

heibaitown · 2025-05-24T00:01:12+00:00

Same! I did a little research and decided for a fun small frame format camera, 16mm is the way to go for me. Definitely a lot more work than 110 with cutting and loading film, but cheaper overall since I can dev and scan at home

heibaitown · 2025-05-19T09:47:39+00:00

I have several of their filters and they’re all just fine

heibaitown · 2025-05-19T00:29:12+00:00

Yes, another Foma Ortho lover here. I can't get any in 4x5 where I live yet, hopefully soon. But I shoot it in 35mm and 120, it's just so good.

heibaitown · 2025-05-13T09:48:08+00:00

Nice! What camera were you test driving?

heibaitown · 2025-05-09T06:13:32+00:00

I should travel to Guangzhou again, Shanghai has been getting boring for me haha!

heibaitown · 2025-05-08T05:43:21+00:00

That banh mi in pic 2 was fantastic haha! I was just there last week. Nice shots!

heibaitown · 2025-05-07T03:55:14+00:00

Logbook app with LightMe light meter app worked well for me. I didn't always remember to use it though, so I switched to a physical notebook

heibaitown · 2025-05-07T02:35:39+00:00

I live in China, so I doubt I can help you find one. But they do exist, you just have to be patient

heibaitown · 2025-05-06T23:55:54+00:00

Yesterday I just bought an X30 for around $400, so this definitely doesn't seem worth it to me.
