Alpa Cameras

I had lunch with one of my favorite Germans yesterday, and amongst other things talked about, we spoke of cameras.  He showed me this fantastic beast made by Alpa, a Swiss camera manufacturer for “those who can tell the difference between price and value.” It’s definitely one of the coolest cameras I’ve seen, and the thing weighs a ton which somehow makes it extra special.

    A ton? I thought the point was that it had large format lenses and weighed less than 6×7 slr?

    Still a great camera when a view camera is impractical.

  2. Compaired to the point and shoot that most likely took this picture the Alpa would weigh a ton. Great camera company! I wonder what the favorite German was shooting with it.
