Pignons Alpa Alenea Mod 7

The Alpa Alnea Mod 7 is a 35mm single-lens reflex camera produced by Pignons SA of Ballaigues, Switzerland, introduced in the early 1950s as part of the Alnea series. It was positioned at the premium end of the Swiss SLR market, built in small numbers for precision-focused users.

At recent UK auction, hammer prices for the Alpa Alnea Mod 7 have sat in a narrow band of roughly £220–£240, with the two most recent wholesale results (November 2024 and November 2025) producing a median close to £229. As of today, what this model is worth at saleroom level depends heavily on cosmetic condition, shutter accuracy and whether an original Alpa-mount lens is included, and clean, working bodies with desirable lenses sell for materially more than stripped bodies.
