Greetings from Melbourne

[eoinbosley]

Hello everyone my name is Eoin, I am an 18 year old from Melbourne with a newly discovered love for analog cameras. So far I have aquired an early 90s polaroid 600 (a lot of fun), a Kodak Ektralite 10, kodak brownie flash II, and an unknown kodak folding camera (approx 1950s?). Although strictly limited by money I endeavour to expand my collection and to explore different techniques, I would appreciate any advice on film purchasing/developing in Australia. Looking forward to enjoying APUG, cheers Eoin

Hello Eoin, welcome to Apug! I'm by limited by money also, but if you have time you will get want you need.

Hullo Eoin,

There's quite a few Melbourne & Victorian APUGers here, who will be only too willing to share useful parochial knowledge! Ask away....!

Welcome to the forum, Eoin.

Welcome Eoin. There's a good bunch of APUGers in Melbourne who I know would be eager to help. For film purchases there is Vanbar in Melbourne but you have a few tricky cameras there when it comes to getting supplies!

G'day Eoin (now how is that pronounced?), from a fellow-Victorian presently in CHC, New Zealand.
I think a Kodak Brownie Flash II was what I tinkered with as a 5-year old, jamming my paws in it!
Film is still widely available in Melb., i.e. Michael's Camera & Video, VanBar Carlton/North Melbourne ... others too.
