Title: FS: Alpa SWA Rosewood grips $3995
Post by: ternst on April 03, 2011, 07:41:13 am

For Sale - Alpa Rosewood SWA. I bought this new from Optecs Digital recently but had shoulder surgery soon after and never did get to use it much - so it has seen little use since new. There are a couple of scuffs on one of the handles but otherwise it looks pretty much like new, and comes with the box and multi tool. This is one of the most beautiful cameras I've ever handled. It is the same camera that Peter Lik has been using for a lot of his work. The price is $3995 plus shipping. (new cost is over $5200 these days so this is quite a discount)

I prefer credit card for your protection and mine, unless I know you, then a personal check is fine after you receive the camera. E-mail TimErnst@TimErnst.com if interested. Thanks....

Here is a snapshot of the SWA with the box and tool. This is the same body that Peter Lik has been using as his personal camera (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0spacaJi3fs), only his has black grips instead of the beautiful rosewood grips offered here (in fact he has a "spare" in the bag). In the first Weather Channel episode they show him using a new/old Mamiya - the Alpa is certainly more difficult to use in a helichopper.

No lenses for sale, just the body. I'm still an Alpa shooter...

A very nice camera, if only I have not bought a TC...

Which Alpa camera do you use now?
