Quoted from Wikipedia: "  Even these days, collectible Alpa cameras can fetch quite a high auction price.^[1] It is estimated that as few as 40,000 cameras of all models of Alpa were made during the company's 40-year history. Allowing for certain gaps, the serial numbers would support that, as the last cameras made (in about 1990) carried serial numbers of only 64,xxx.  The Kern Macro Switar lens was a 50 mm lens at F1.8 or F1.9. It was an apochromat, and is still highly regarded as possibly the best standard lens ever offered. Other apochromats offered by Alpa included the 100 mm F2 and 150 mm F2.8 Kinoptik lenses."

This camera had only a few rolls of films through it, so it looks like it first came out of 

the box. The shutter sounds good even after years of idling. 

 I have 2 of the last Alpa produced. Here is one of them.

The lens mounting is tight because it left no room for the lens to move, but once you 

try it couple of times, it wouldn't be a problem.

The soft foam on top of the lens mount which acts as shake absorber for the bouncing 

mirror had deteriorated as always due to its age but it is still hanging in there.

This camera is for serious collector only.
