Pignons Alpa 10s

The Alpa 10s is a Swiss-made 35mm single lens reflex camera produced by Pignons SA of Ballaigues. It sits within the long-running Alpa reflex line that positioned the brand at the precision-engineered, low-volume end of the SLR market.

Sales data for the Alpa 10s is extremely thin: the only UK auction hammer record on file is a single result of £1,979 from 2004, so a reliable current price band cannot be drawn from this evidence alone. As of 2026, what an Alpa 10s is worth at saleroom level today depends heavily on cosmetic condition, mechanical health and whether a desirable Kern or Schneider lens is included, and a single historic hammer should not be read as a present-day median.

Frequently asked questions

What is an Alpa 10s worth today?

With only one UK auction hammer record on file (£1,979 in 2004), there is not enough recent sales history to quote a reliable current value, and the price a clean example sells for now will depend on condition and any lens fitted.

How much does an Alpa 10s sell for at auction?

The single verified UK saleroom result we hold is £1,979 hammer, but one data point is not a market — buyers should treat this as historical context rather than a guide to today's price.

Who made the Alpa 10s?

The Alpa 10s was made by Pignons SA in Ballaigues, Switzerland, as part of the Alpa 35mm SLR line.
