ALPA 12 WA "wake-up" rosewood black
An extremely handy camera for the hands-on photographer. The ALPA 12 WA is exceptionally robust and eminently suitable for photo reportage and news photography. Members of Magnum are among its users and “Newsweek” title pages among its results. All lenses of the ALPA platform, all rollfilm backs to 6x9 and all digital backs up to 60 MP can be used. The entire ALPA range of accessories is available together with many accessories from other manufacturers. Two ergonomically designed handgrips and the ideal balance of the camera’s weight support its freehand use. If supported by a tripod, the ALPA 12 WA can also be used in many other photographic applications. ALPA 12 WA, that means ALPA pure: optimal handling and stability even under the most extreme conditions through concentration on the essentials.
