Yes Pan. Indeed these pics are taken there. If you click on you can see the map in Flickr.

I spent my summers as a child in this beach. In the corner of the picture you can hardly see the small building used by the army for mapping. On the right of this beach is the bus stop, next to what used to be a tavern/ice cream shop/night club (depending on the year). Past that shop there are old wooden huts, one of those belong to my uncle and aunt, this is where I used to stay.

So nice to see these pictures.

Lamma Island! I used to live there. One year in 索罟灣 and two years in 沙埔舊村. Thanks for bringing back memories unexpectedly!

What would you guys recommend for a good inexpensive medium format camera? Looking at trying some 120 for fun!

A wide field your are looking for! What means inexpensive? Searching for quality? A pinhole if looking for developing fun? A ranger finger might be some of the the fuji 645? 6x6 a hasselblad or rolleiflex sl 6x6. Sharp lenses hasselblad h? Weight might be a factor? A texas leica as a choice? Which metering system you are looking for? Mamiya 645 or rz rb?
It depends all on what you want to shoot and what you like to get?
So if you can answer the question for yourself you might get a step forward.
Best

What Sem said. TLRs are inexpensive and can give good results, but you either love or hate the laterally-reversed ground glass image. Any TLR that isn't made by Rollei is usually cheap: Minolta Autocords, Yashicas, Ricohs, Flexarets.. take your pick. Try to choose ones that take Rollei Bay I filters and hoods as Bay I accessories are cheaper. You can sometimes pick up a Rolleicord (rather than the Rolleiflex) at a reasonable price.

Folders are also cheap, but the condition is critical and you might have to buy several before you get one in good working condition. Moskva-5 (6x9 neg) might be worth a look, from a reputable seller like Oleg or Fedka.
