But colour photography and cinema and hand held moving picture camera(small version of cinema cam) were in the foreign market. This is Penn (ivy league Uni statred in 1800s by renown Benjamin Franklin) Museum, a foreigner who had coloured moving picture camera would have got it and processed abroad(may be US). We did not have colour processing till late 70s . Even early eighties some photographers used to send films to Singapore for processing. I do not know who started colour processing in sri lanka but the prints were very expensive compared with black and white and quality was also low compared with foreign developed ones(paper quality, size and even colours). One company that came to front in this new era was Amila with Sakura (Konica) films and cameras. Unfortunately they did not do well after a peak in mid to late 80s.</p></blockquote><p></p>
