Sinar Wolf Alpina 45
The Sinar Wolf Alpina 45 is a 4x5 large-format view camera. Sinar is a Swiss manufacturer known for modular monorail and field cameras aimed at studio and landscape photographers.
Hammer prices in the UK auction market are limited by thin sample data, but a recent March 2026 result settled at £188 at saleroom level (wholesale, excluding commission). On that single data point, today's value sits around £190, though completeness of the rail, bellows condition, and included lens boards can shift what one sells for substantially.
Sales History
Prices shown are realised prices — auction results and completed eBay sales, never asking prices. Most saleroom figures are hammer prices, before commission; some houses publish a premium-inclusive figure, and we do not adjust for condition. Dealer and retail asking prices are typically higher.

Frequently asked questions
What is a Sinar Wolf Alpina 45 worth?

How much does a Sinar Wolf Alpina 45 sell for at auction?
The most recent UK saleroom result was £188 in March 2026; condition, bellows integrity, and included accessories will move that figure up or down.
Is the Sinar Wolf Alpina 45 a good buy today?
For a 4x5 user wanting a Swiss-built view camera, the price is modest, but verify movements and bellows before committing as repair parts for less common Sinar variants can be hard to source.
