General Meetings
The Club has six General Meetings per Year, on the first Monday of February,
April, June, August, October and December (every even month). Guests
are always most welcome. Meetings commence at 8:00pm, and are located
at:
** Please note that due to renovations being carried out on the Horrie Watson Pavilion, for the rest of 2008 our meetings will be held at:
FROG HOLLOW PAVILION, FROG HOLLOW RESERVE, FORDHAM AVENUE, CAMBERWELL. MELWAYS REF 60, B2
At General Meetings, we always project stereo slides for about 1 hour. A special feature show usually takes most of this time. In addition, an exhibition is run each meeting, where Members can submit slides or digital images for the exhibition subject. Members or guests can bring along images to have them projected if they would like to do so.
Committee Meetings are held six times per year in every odd-numbered month. Any club member may attend Committee Meetings.

These high-quality cardboard mounts are designed
and made in Melbourne, and sold all over the world. Over half the supplies
produced are exported overseas. The Sydney Stereo Camera Club, Inc. are
also big customers for these mounts.
Medium format stereo is the "Rolls-Royce" stereo format, providing the ultimate "you are there" experience. This format is growing in popularity, particularly in Melbourne, as there is easy access to medium format mounting supplies, and about half a dozen Club members shooting medium format, some of who have constructed high-quality achromatic viewers.
The following stereo cameras are all still in use by many stereo enthusiasts everywhere around the world. Particular thanks go to the members of the Victorian 3D Society for making available the most of the cameras shown below for this photographic collection,and to John Bercovitz for the photos of the Kodak, Sputnik, and FED.
