The Alpa 12 SWA is a medium-format technical camera made by the Swiss manufacturer Pignons as part of the Alpa 12 system. It is a wide-angle variant designed to accept roll-film or digital backs and is positioned at the high-precision, low-volume end of the medium-format market.

At UK auction, hammer prices for the Alpa 12 SWA have ranged from roughly £5,000 to £12,000, with only two recorded saleroom results giving a midpoint near £8,500. As of today in 2026 the model remains thinly traded at saleroom level, so what a 12 SWA sells for is highly condition- and configuration-dependent, and the value of any individual example reflects the back, viewfinder and lens fitted at the time of sale.
