Arriving in beautiful Cape Town in 1970, Tony worked as a technician at Photographic Repair Services, 82 Maynard House, Shortmarket Street. Four years of faithful service saw him taking over the reigns as owner. The now Camera Repair Centre has been his pride and joy, and under his capable management to the present day.

Clive Georges began his career in construction, before finding his true calling, cameras. Clive has been with Camera Repair Centre for the past twenty years, having started on single lens reflex cameras and moving on to auto-focus and compact auto-focus zoom cameras, giving him a vast pool of experience in this field.

Clive specialises in the repair and service of Pentax LX models, as well as plastic molding, modifications and repairs to back door catches.

Sadly, Tony's daughter Wendy who was a camera technician with us for many years lost her struggle against cancer and passed away in October 2003 at the tender age of 29. She is surely missed.
