Hi, I am wondering if there are any camera shops around Zurich which carry a sizable stock of pre-owned camera lens especially Nikon or Leica manual ones?
Also any recommendation for processing of 35mm film rolls?
Thanks!
Foto Ganz in the HB and near Rennweg, plus Foto Bären on Löwenstrasse often carry a reasonable supply of 2nd hand Nikon gear.
However don't expect bargains when it comes to Nikon or Leica lenses, even if they are old.
Foto Bären is ok, but i dont think they have much old film gear anymore, Ganz is in my opinion asking too much for pre owned things, and not much available besides Leica M gear.
You also could visit a fotoflohmarkt or fotobörse

Ebay or Ricardo in my opinion is the way to go.
If you are interested in Leica R gear and a Rolei 535 slide projector al in perfect condition, send a pm.
It seemed as thought the flea market at Bürkliplatz had a lot of interesting used photo gear thought I did not examine it closely myself. The market is held every Saturday (if the weather is reasonable) in the park. Hope this leads you to some great things the flea market is just great in general!
I am also looking for a recommendation on where to purchase 35mm film and where to get it processed also (preferably in the same venue).
