What it is
{"overview":"The Alpa 6b is a Swiss-made 35mm single lens reflex camera produced by Pignons S.A. of Ballaigues. Because sales are sparse and these are wholesale saleroom results rather than dealer retail, today's value is highly condition-sensitive and a clean, working body with matched lens tends to anchor the upper end of what the camera sells for.","buying_guide":"Alpa bodies rely on specialist service, so inspect shutter accuracy across all speeds, check the reflex mirror and prism for separation or haze, and confirm that the rangefinder and viewfinder optics are clear.
