Hi Nathan!

     I spent my teenage years in Zurich as my family moved there in '59.  I
remember the big Koch store on the Bahnhof Strasse.  But you could get better
buys at some of the out of the way discount houses.  I believe Koch is the
inventor of the Sinar.  Their store always had the best displays of cameras
in the store front window.  I was reading somewhere that the Bahnhof Strasse
is the most expensive real estate in the world.
