Cameras, model railways

Pan Pacific Cameras, a leader in the photographic retail field, has extended its service to customers with the opening of its new shop in Gloucester Arcade. On the photographic side, it offers a complete range of cameras from the Instamatic right through to sophisticated single lens reflex models, and also projectors, accessories, enlargers, darkroom equipment, chemicals, film and photographic paper. The store manager has 13 years’ photographic expert-

ence and the assistant has three years’ retail experience and is himself a keen amateur photographer. Duty free facilities are available to travellers over a complete range of cameras and accessories. A prompt colour processing service is available, and black and white developing and printing can be done in three and a half hours. But all this is only half the business now done by Pan

Pacific. For what is believed to be the first time in New Zealand, a camera store has been combined with a specialist model railway and hobby centre. Catering for the full age range, from children to adults, it offers a wide variety of railway and accessory equipment, all imported. Model kitsets are also a specialty — all kinds: aircraft, ships, antique firearms, and even prehistoric monsters.
