ALPA 12 SWA "wake-up" rosewood natural
The ALPA 12 SWA, too, is an ideal handheld camera. In addition to the WA, it offers additional shift which increases the ways this camera can be used, especially for architectural and landscape photography. The shift movement is set in the most frequently used direction, namely vertically upwards, infinitely variable up to 25 mm. Turning the ALPA 12 SWA top-to-bottom or front-to-back (swapping lens and back), the 25-mm shift can also be reached downwards. This allows for a total of 50 mm vertical movements. A decentered lens can extend the camera’s shift capacity also in the horizontal direction. All lenses, all rollfilm backs and all digital backs that fit the ALPA platform can be used on the SWA camera. The entire ALPA range of accessories is available together with a whole range of accessories from other manufacturers.
