Alfa, the 35mm camera, it was one of the greatest achievements WZFO Warsaw. Manufactured in the years 1962-1964 and after the modification as Alpha 2 between 64-65. The camera does not have a stunning technical parameters, but had a rather interesting design. He had an aluminium case painted in different colours. Interesting was the lens cap (unfortunately I haven’t it), which can be used also as a hood. It is highly sought after by collectors, and the price depends largely on the colour of the cabinet. I had the Alfa in the 60’s and I must admit that the Smena has better performance. The camera required periodically tighten the screws….. but it was operated for a few years ……
