Visited Hong Kong during summer of 1993. I just bought my Canon 100/Elan, and was trying out various films. The ones at the Peak was shot in the super fine grain Kodak Ektar 25. And then on the trip to Macau, I shot B&W for the first and only time in my life.
The lens was the 1st generation Tamron 28-200. Pretty sharp and low distortion, but horrible vignetting. Flare was a problem too.
Scanned with Minolta Elite Scan II at highest resolution, around 7-8MP.

Victoria Harbour was wider back then.
Reclamation already begun behind Stonecutter's Island for more container terminals.

Bank of China, Citibank, Pacific Place, just like they are now.
