Hello, am looking for shops in Hong Kong that offer a reasonable selection of leather bound journals. Any ideas? I am stuck

Thanks!

PS) oh also am looking for shops that do half-frame-films processing. (For those who doesn't know what a half-frame camera is. Here, I ripped a couple of paragraphs from http://www.camerapedia.org/wiki/Half-frame

"What is called the half-frame format is usually the 18x24mm format on regular 35mm film. It is the normal exposure format on 35mm movie cameras. For still cameras using the 35mm film, the usual format is 24x36mm, so still cameras taking 18x24mm exposures are called half-frame cameras.

There was a vogue of half-frame cameras in the 1960s, mainly from Japan, originating with the Olympus Pen models. It allowed to build a very compact camera, yet using the regular film that can be bought anywhere, unlike the other subminiatures that used exotic films (16mm, 9.5mm, etc.). This vogue ended when cameras like the Rollei 35 or the Olympus XA showed that it was possible to make cameras as small as the half-frame ones, but taking full 24x36mm exposures.

With a half-frame camera, you take twice the number of pictures that you would normally take with your roll of film. For example, you take 72 exposures on a 36-exposure roll, 48 on a 24-exposure one, and so on."

Did not realize thats what those fellows were called

my 2nd camera was a Canon Demi 17

Took forever to finish a roll of 72, but the Demi was also useful as a nutcracker.

For leather stuff, moleskine etc head to Swindons.

you can get your roll developed at most places-try any Fotomax, where language should not be a problem

Papyrus has leather bound journals.
