The Alpa 9f is a 35mm SLR made in Switzerland by Pignons SA, part of the Alpa line of precision-engineered reflex cameras produced from the late 1960s into the 1970s. It sat in the upper tier of the Alpa range when new, aimed at photographers who valued small-batch Swiss construction over the higher-volume Japanese SLRs of the period.

At UK auction, recorded hammer prices for the Alpa 9f span roughly £560 to £1,800, with only two saleroom results on file — a 2008 Leitz Photographica result at £1,800 and a 2026 Flints sale at £562 — so a reliable median is not meaningful from such a thin sample. As of 2026, what an Alpa 9f sells for at saleroom level is heavily dependent on cosmetic condition, working shutter, and whether a Kern or Schneider lens is included; bare bodies tend toward the lower end of that range while complete outfits push the value upward. Buyers should remember these are wholesale hammer figures and dealer retail asking prices are typically higher.
