For camera gear there is a great shop near the rear exit of the Golden Computer centre in Sham Shui Po, they stock all DSLRs and a wide selection of 35mm and equipment. Popular makes are Tamron & Sigma.

You will find various stores in Mong Kok but not as great a selection. Japanese versions of camera equipment can be picked up at a very good price.

Shops

In HK two common SLR is Canon and Nikon
so most fo the lens mount are C or N

apart from original lens from camera manuf.
tamron and sigma are common too....


Mongkok Sai Yeung Choi Street and Central Stanley Street St are good place.

Tony is a good person to go to indeed. Most of the time he has one of the best prices in town. If not, check out Stanley Street in Central, Mong Kok or Tin Cheung Camera in TST.

I think i'll get 350D and 75-300mm this summer...

As Mcarenas said, visit that website, it is great one.
Don't expect to pay more than the street price, some of the stuff on that website is outdated, but after all, its very useful. Usually you can get a bit cheaper than the street price listed on that website...=)

My recommendation...

There's a guy with a shop in a hotel lobby near Nathan Road (not on Nathan Road) - forget his name but if you need something quick hes not too bad.

Forget the name of the hotel and the name of the merchant - David...?

Dont forget B&H in NYC.

Good luck.
