What it is
{"overview":"The Alpa 10s Half-Frame is a 35mm half-frame variant of the Alpa 10s SLR, made by Pignons SA in Switzerland. Because hammer prices in the saleroom reflect wholesale levels rather than retail asking prices, today's value for a clean example is best confirmed against fresh comparable sales rather than this single data point.","buying_guide":"Inspect the shutter for accurate speeds, check the meter (where fitted) for response, and look closely at the body and finder for impact damage, as Alpa parts and qualified service are scarce.

Questions
Why is the price so much higher than a standard Alpa 10s?
The half-frame (halbformat) Alpa 10s was produced in very small numbers, and that scarcity is the main factor pushing its value above more common full-frame Alpa 10s bodies.
