APCS Collectors Market

The Australian Photographic Collectors will stage a market of collectable and contemporary photographic equipment, featuring around 50 tables of photographic equipment.

Our Photographic Markets are the largest in Australia. Held twice each year they are not just a swap meet for collectors, but a true mix of old and new. Antique Camera & Image dealers rub shoulders with Photographic retailers and private dealers, still, movie & video. Truly daguerreotype to digital. An invaluable source for students after cameras and darkroom gear, a great deal of new and used equipment becomes available all in one place. Many professional photographers sell their excess or out-dated equipment, making professional 35mm and medium format cameras affordable for users and collectors.

When: Sunday September 13th

10am - 4pm

Where: St Patrick’s Community Hall, Dawson Street South,  Ballarat
