Beijing: Wukesong Camera Market

In fact, this is more about my trip to the market itself because I did not take any pictures withing the actual market. It was a really bright day when we went there. In fact, I did not know how to get there, so Zhang Yan was the navigator. We got off the bus one stop too far and had to circle back, so we crossed over the highway. I took several pictures crossing the bridge, so I am glad we missed it the first time. We went in for a short time and I selected a Nikon F80 film camera from among the used camera stores. I planned to use it the next day to shoot some film at the Ming Palace. After we left the Wukesong Camera Market,  we had dinner at a Chinese fast food place. I had the beef entire and it was amazing! It was a very good day and amazing to see all those cameras in one place. I was tempted to buy a Leica M6 classic instead, but I did not wish to spend that kind of money on a camera so far from home. It would have been cool to be able to say I bought it in on a trip to Beijing, though!
