Cameras and Pharmacy? Yes! Believe it or not, Dunedin's Musselburgh Pharmacy has had a strong Photographics Dept for more than 25 years, and it all began by accident.

Hi - I'm Hadyn and I joined the team in 2002. Let me tell you how it all began...

A Simple Question
Back then a friend of Max's asked if we could supply him with two Pentax SLRs (ME-Supers). As a long-time Pentax owner himself, Max decided that we would, and at mate-rates at that. Impressed by the product Max came to the conclusion we could sell these things in numbers... if the price was right.

The Right Price
Deep-Discounting on Camera equipment was nearly unheard of in NZ back then. Nevertheless we went ahead and bought 3 more cameras. They were gone in a week. A display advertisement in the local paper later and we were on the way....

More Products
Since then we have expanded our product line to include other brands, such as Olympus and Canon, as well as quality Binoculars and (a long term interest of Max's & a developing interest of Hayden's) Telescopes for the Night-Sky and Land viewing.

Some Things Stay The Same
However somethings will never change: you'll find quality products in every price range with performance that will delight long after the price is forgotten, and that price will reflect the deep-discount philosophy which we adopted a quarter of a century ago. PLUS any new product we supply has a full Factory Warranty that you can count on here in New Zealand.

The Digital Era
Since late 2003 Digital Photography has really taken hold, and with my interest in computers and photography I'm lucky that I have tried a lot of different software programs from basic online editors to top of the line programs such as Photoshop, so I can help point you in the right direction when it comes to 'touching up' those precious memories.

Get In Touch!
As a keen photographer with lots of knowledge in the digital arena, and can help you find the best camera for your needs and also help you get the best results from the camera.

Feel free to come instore or phone me and talk to me about your camera/sport optical requirements to get the best possible equipment for your needs.

Cheers,

Hayden @ Southern Cameras (inside Musselburgh Pharmacy)
