Pignons Alpa Si 2000

The Alpa Si 2000 is a 35mm SLR marketed under the Alpa name by Pignons of Ballaigues, Switzerland. It dates from the late 1970s, when Pignons sourced bodies from outside suppliers to keep the Alpa line in production as their in-house manufacturing wound down.

Sales history for the Si 2000 is thin, with only two recorded UK auction hammer results (wholesale saleroom levels, before commission): £322 in late 1999 and £470 in 2003, giving a range of roughly £320–£470. On that limited evidence the Si 2000 sells for a price broadly in line with collectable late-Alpa bodies, though today a realistic value depends heavily on cosmetic condition, working shutter and meter, and the presence of the correct lens.

Frequently asked questions

What is an Alpa Si 2000 worth today?

The two available UK auction hammer results sit between £322 and £470, so a clean, working example would reasonably be valued in that range, with tired or incomplete bodies worth less.

How much does an Alpa Si 2000 sell for at auction?

Recorded hammer prices are £322 (1999) and £470 (2003); with only two data points the market price is best treated as indicative rather than firmly established.

Is the Alpa Si 2000 a collectable camera?

It carries the Alpa name and Pignons association, which supports collector interest, but its late-period, outsourced origin means values are more modest than earlier in-house Alpa reflexes.
