Pignons Alpa 6b (black)

The Alpa 6b is a 35mm film SLR produced by Pignons SA of Ballaigues, Switzerland. The black-finish variant is the less common cosmetic version of the model and was aimed at the upper end of the precision-camera market when new.

Auction data for the black Alpa 6b is thin: a single UK saleroom hammer record from June 2019 shows the camera selling for £1,400, and that figure remains the only firm reference point for what one is worth today. Because this is a wholesale auction price rather than a retail asking figure, dealer-listed examples typically carry a premium on top, and condition and completeness can move the value sharply either way.
