Subject: [Leica] So.. what is the deal with Alpa Cameras?

>One caution: if you find an Alpa you want to buy on that site, ask for
a clear description of its condition

You should also try to get the original documentation and original
invoice. There are some Alpa Reflex cameras that have been and are still
being assembled from spare parts and offered as MINT. These are to be
considered as fakes and they are not usually built to the strict
tolerances the original factory-built Alpas had. Nor can one be sure
that all parts are original and that everything is working correctly.
