In the days before colour film colour photography was done with multiple pictures taken through colour filters that were recombined using dye techniques to recreate the original image. The JOS-PE tri colour camera was a commercial camera of the early 1930s.

Cameras kept by two famous people have come to our attention. Sir Edmund Hillary still had the Retina that he'd taken to the top of Mt. Everest, where he captured Sherpa Tensing holding his ice axe aloft. And excitingly we now hold in our collection Truby King's camera and examples of his work.

We had to find three young Australasian photographers for a San Marino 1997 Photomeet competition. It wasn't always easy but we succeeded and they did well.
