I lived in Cairns for about 12 years, and was last there when I
visited my parents in Dec 1998.
There aren't any real "pro" stores in Cairns, at least, not when I
lived there.
"Smiths Camera" in Lake St (on the mall) is the largest store in town.
I bought my first camera (my tired old OM-1, for $90) there in 1990.
There's a small hole-in-the wall store called "Phototechnical
Services" in an arcade that runs between Lake and Grafton Sts, across
the road from Smiths. The arcade is called "city arcade" I think.
They do repairs and servicing, and have a large (for Cairns) selection
of used gear.
Lab wise, I was happy with the slides done by "Northern Photo
Express", a minilab who do 2 hr slides (again, on the mall in Lake
St.). I noticed in 1998 that there are some newer pro labs a few
blocks north, but I never used them.
HTH
Chris.
p.s. Check out Peter Lik's gallery (ilfochromes from 6x17cm panoramas)
when you're there.
