WELCOME To Cameraholics
Cameraholics is a group for collectors of cameras and photographica based in Brisbane, Australia that was formed in late 1999 and is the first photographic collectors group (as opposed to camera users group) to be formed in Queensland thanks to the efforts of founding President Herb Parker. Cameraholics is affiliated with the PSQ (Photographic Society of Queensland Inc).At our meetings the group discusses interesting and collectable cameras and other items of photographica. Members bring along anything from the most common to quite rare, odd and unusual items for a round table show and tell. Our member's interests span 19th century photographica, classic folding, rangefinder and SLR/TLR cameras to miniature, odd film size and novelty cameras and beyond including digital! We have members who specialize in collecting equipment produced by individual photographic manufacturers from Alpa to Zeiss.
Why not bring along an interesting camera or photography related item and meet like-minded collectors with a wealth of knowledge about a diverse range of photographic items? Cameraholics meet monthly and stage the only second hand photographic market in Queensland once a year on the first Sunday in June.

Our Camera Fair
With all the Covid19 requirements and social distancing, to ensure we are fully compliant, we have had to change the layout and that has actually resulted in some great new ideas, so this years Fair is going to be bigger and better with more tables; many NEW vendors and more space to move around and relax, you do not want to miss it.
