Brisbane Photographic and Camera Fair
Windsor,
Brisbane City
Would you like to..
The annual Brisbane Photographic Fair will be held Sunday 24 May. Cameraholics is an affiliated club of the Photographic Society of Queensland and the members are active in collecting old cameras and photographic equipment and images.
The fair caters for almost every field of photography - film, digital, studio and darkroom and even movie cameras, from the beginner to those wanting to sell surplus items. For those people interested in wanting to trade up to more modern equipment or just clear out the studio attic, or digital photographers who want to try going 'retro' to return to the nostalgic days of film.
The items sold at previous fairs have covered the history of photography from the start in the 1840 to 1850s up to the modern digital equipment of today. Other items may include hard-to-find accessories, mint condition cameras and parts that can help restore some cameras back to their working glory.
