Alpa Kameras
Alpa has produced a variety of camera types, including 35mm cameras. Additionally, Alpa's view cameras are particularly known and appreciated for their high precision and adaptability (also due to their modularity) for many different photographic scenarios.
The company was founded in 1918 and initially produced precision instruments.The production of cameras began in 1933. Among the most popular models and series in the scene today are:
- Alpa Reflex: One of the most renowned series, introduced in the 1940s, perfectly combining the essential features of Alpa.
- Alpa 6c: A true classic from the Reflex series! Robust with excellent image quality. The now asymmetrical shape of the prism cover and the redesigned top housing are distinctive compared to its predecessors.
- Alpa 9d: The Alpa Reflex 9d is a 35mm SLR camera and its historical significance is being one of the earliest SLRs (alongside the Pentax Spotmatic) to use CdS cells within the pentaprism housing, aimed at the ground glass, to take TTL exposure readings.
- Alpa 11si: With the introduction of the 11si model, the CdS (cadmium sulfide) cells used since the 9d model were replaced by Si (silicon) cells.
- Alpa 12: A later series, famous for its medium format and still appreciated today by modern photography enthusiasts. Cameras in this series are generally compact and suitable for on-the-go use. The Alpa Reflex 9d is a 35mm SLR camera and its historical significance is being one of the earliest SLRs (alongside the Pentax Spotmatic) to use CdS cells within the pentaprism housing, aimed at the ground glass, to take TTL exposure readings.
