Alpa Alnea Model 7 made by Pignons S.A. of Switzerland starting in 1952. It was the 4th and most advanced model of the second generation of Alpa cameras. Featuring both a 45 degree angled reflex viewfinder and a coupled coincident image rangefinder with selectable 50, 90, and 135mm masks, it was truly both an SLR and a rangefinder in the same camera. Alpa cameras are highly sought after by collectors due to their unique design and extremely complex built quality. Like a Swiss watch, Alpas are often considered to be luxury, precision built instruments that were a step above everyone else.
