ALPA 12 SWA
The ALPA 12 SWA (Shift Wide Angle) was the first model in the ALPA 12 medium format camera series. First only with roll film back and later, not least due to its superior precision and extremely tight tolerances, also with digital backs. 

Fully integrated into the modular ALPA 12 platform, the ALPA 12 SWA represents an interesting option particularly for architecture but also for landscape photography: shift (perspective correction) is integrated into the camera - in the most common direction of vertical upwards. When the ALPA 12 SWA is turned upside down, a downward shift is achieved. This rotation can be done manually or by using an additional adapter on a tripod. When digital backgrounds are used, the same effect can be achieved by simply swapping the lens with the back. This allows us to achieve our design goals of reliability, precision, versatility and simplicity in equal measure.
