Pignons Alpa 9d Half-Frame (halbformat)

{"overview":"The Alpa 9d Half-Frame is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera produced by Pignons of Ballaigues, Switzerland, configured to expose half-frame (18×24mm) images on standard 35mm film. At saleroom level the half-frame configuration is a rarity premium over standard Alpa 9d bodies, and in 2026 collectors should expect strong condition-sensitivity and wide bid spreads when an example sells for anything at all.","buying_guide":"Inspect the shutter for accurate speeds across the range, check the reflex mirror and prism for separation or haze, and confirm the half-frame mask and frame counter operate correctly, since this is what distinguishes the variant.
