An Alpa Reflex II 35mm camera
Toronto. Back on May 10, 2019 before we were engulfed in COVID, I did a different post on the Alpa line of cameras.
Those 35mm photographers who couldn’t decide whether the rangefinder or SLR style was best, could always have both by choosing an Alpa camera with both means of focus. This unusual design came with what were considered excellent lenses.
At one time I was offered an Alpa in exchange for my Rittrick IIa but for some quirky reason, I declined the swap. While the Alpa camera line was only around a few decades, the elaborate hand-assembled technique and Swiss precision made it a formidable line of 35mm cameras.
