A blog entry on the design magazine's website "dezeen" and others attracted some interest and a lot of positive feedback regarding the new handgrips (since February 2010) for the ALPA 12 TC camera and the whole ALPA 12 platform.

In order to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the ALPA 12 TC we have just introduced a special silver version of the camera and a corresponding black version of the handgrips (suitable for the both the black and the silver version). 

A comment from "The World's Best Ever":

"We love you ALPA, keep being The World’s Best Camera Ever." - ALPA says: "We love you too :)"

   Incredible old school quality – must weigh a ton. The brand font is incredibly similar to this old Czech ointment brand:http://www.alpa.eu/en/tradition-with-the-alpa-brand

    Great to see an elegant design that emphasises practical function.
    I’m curious about the design of the viewfinder scope on top.
    It emphasizes the “shooting” aspect of making a photograph.
    No “through the lens” viewing though?
    what if you miss the shot?!
    I guess it will become a camera to learn and then love.

    What I was getting at, but neglected to say clearly,
    in my previous post, is how do you focus the lens?
