THE ALPA 12 RANGE
Find the camera that matches your vision.
Compact in form, infinite in expression.
The ALPA 12 PLUS is the most versatile body in the system. Independent vertical and horizontal shifts of 40mm open possibilities for architecture, landscape, and studio photography with complete freedom. Its symmetrical design embodies balance and reflects its Swiss origins in both clarity and precision. More than a camera, the PLUS represents the system at its peak.
Extreme in every aspect.
The ALPA 12 PANO is a camera for those who demand more than wide. Extreme image circles, extreme movements, extreme precision. This instrument pushes the boundaries of panoramic photography.
Many renowned manufacturers have written history with panoramic cameras. ALPA continues this story in its own way, shaped by Swiss craft and mechanical clarity. With an exceptional 70 millimeters of lateral shift on the sensor plane, plus additional 20 millimeters of rise & fall, the PANO enables the creation of ultra-high-quality flat-stitched panoramas without rotating the camera. In the hands of those who seek perfection, it turns vast horizons into measured masterpieces.
Timeless design meets enduring precision.
With its integrated 25 mm vertical shift, the ALPA 12 SWA remains the ideal companion for the most versatile photographic applications. Compact, light, and elegant in form, it embodies the essence of simplicity. Focused entirely on what matters. The upward shift offers ample range for precise perspective control, while an optional adapter allows the same movement downward, ideal for architecture or tall structures. By rotating the body or swapping lens and back, flexibility becomes effortless. The result is an instrument of pure mechanical clarity that defines ALPA’s enduring values: reliability, precision, and timeless design.
Creative Control, Redefined.
The ALPA 12 STC is precision condensed into its purest form. Designed for landscape and travel photographers alike, who are seeking light-weight versatility, it offers intuitive 36mm lateral shift, effortlessly convertible to vertical rise and fall.
Light, pure, and ready for every journey.
The ALPA 12 TC (Travel Compact) is the most lightweight and minimal body in the ALPA system. Designed for photographers who value freedom, precision, and absolute reliability, it offers full integration into the modular ALPA 12 platform while remaining small enough to travel anywhere. Whether you are entering the ALPA 12 system for the first time or expanding an existing setup, the TC complements every configuration.
