Swiss photographers! Are there any shops that sell 4x5" film in Zürich?

Gruezi!

I'm plotting and scheming a trip to Switzerland (from Australia) in July this year hopefully. But the last time I went was 2016, when just popping all your film in carry-on luggage was fine.

With the new airport scanners, it's seems like probably a good idea to buy my film there and post it back to Australia! Are there any shops that still sell film in Zürich or other cities?

Thanks heaps!

Marc

This place offers film processing, though they show only 35mm/120 - perhaps they sell film as well, or could tell you where to look:

Thanks Oren,

Looks like Ars Imago https://www.ars-imago.ch is a good bet, and walking distance from the main train station too! Years ago I processed lots of E6 film at Fotostudio 13 in Zürich but they appear to have ceased trading :-(

Marc!

hi Marc!

I hope Emmanuel BIGLER will respond to this thread. he's in Besanscon France an hour and 1/2 more or less from Basel/ Mulhouse ... while it's not Zurich he might have a handle on places there that might be helpful seeing he's not too too far from there..
my inlaws are near Belfort (closer to Mulhouse / Basel than Bezac ) its a small compared to college-town Besanscon and there are shops there that sell film and chemistry ( or did the last time I visited, I bought Ilford Fixer )... While, he was here recently .. still, Emmanuel might also be reachable via PM ... have a nice trip! John

Thanks John,

I'm fairly sure I stopped briefly (and accidentally ordered a shandy from a hotel bar!!) in Belfort coming back from a day trip from Basel to Ronchamp (to see the Corbusier Chapel) a few years ago!! So that's a good tip too...

Marc!

Hi Marc,
I would go the other way around: look for a professional lab and ask them where film is available.
Save your undevelopped film one trip and get back home with your results.
Best
Andreas

Any suggestions for Geneva? Also, any recommendations on where to buy E6 and C41 chemistry in Geneva?

Ars-imago ships within Switzerland

When I lived in Germany, I was buying from macodirect.de. They have good variety, and they ship *everywhere*. I received 5 boxes of 4x5 film couple of weeks ago in Chile from them. They had "do not x-ray" stickers in the box, I tested the film (asa 100) and it is in perfect condition.
I know it is not Switzerland, but they are neighbors.
