Pignons Alpa 10f
The Alpa 10f is a 35mm SLR produced by the Swiss firm Pignons SA of Ballaigues. Like other Alpa reflexes of its era, it was a small-volume, hand-finished instrument positioned at the top of the market when new.
Hammer prices at UK auction for the Alpa 10f are thinly evidenced: the only verified saleroom result on file is a single 2015 hammer of £5,000, a wholesale figure that excludes buyer's and seller's commission. 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.

Frequently asked questions
What is an Alpa 10f worth today?
On the single verified UK auction record, an Alpa 10f sold for £5,000 at hammer, but with only one data point this should be read as a guide price rather than a firm market value.
How much does an Alpa 10f sell for at auction?
The one recorded UK saleroom result is £5,000 hammer (excluding commission); condition, completeness and the lens fitted will move the price up or down from that reference.
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.
