The Alpa 10f is a 35mm SLR made by the Swiss firm Pignons SA of Ballaigues, part of the Alpa Reflex line introduced in the 1960s. The black-finish version of the 10f sat at the upper end of Pignons' precision-built, hand-assembled range and was sold in small numbers compared with mainstream Japanese SLRs of the period.

With only a single recorded UK auction hammer result to reference, pricing data for the black Alpa 10f is thin: one example sold for £2,800 at saleroom level in November 2019, which gives a single data point rather than a true market range. Black-finish Alpa bodies have historically commanded a premium over chrome equivalents because of their lower production numbers, so what a black Alpa 10f is worth today will depend heavily on cosmetic condition, mechanical health and whether a matching Kern or Schneider lens is included; collectors searching for what one sells for should treat the 2019 figure as indicative only.
