What it is
{"overview":"The Alpa 10f is a 35mm SLR produced by the Swiss firm Pignons SA of Ballaigues. With just one data point, today's value is best treated as indicative rather than a settled market price, and a clean, working example with matching lens could sell for a meaningfully different figure.","buying_guide":"Alpa bodies of this generation rely on specialist service, so buyers should check that the shutter runs at all marked speeds, the mirror returns cleanly and the meter (if fitted) responds. Cosmetics matter on collector-grade Alpas, so inspect the top plate, leatherette and engravings for wear or repair.

Questions
Why is the Alpa 10f priced where it is?
Pignons built Alpa SLRs in small numbers with hand finishing, and survivors are sought by collectors, which supports prices well above mainstream 35mm SLRs of the same period.
