Well, in this interview with p: berlin: https://pberlin.net/2024/08/30/iv-alpa/ (German only)
Hans Keist, the current Managing Director of Alpa will tell you.
Spoiler, it´s 99% Chinese and this one you have to swallow
:
"Professional photographers in Asia, on the other hand, rarely buy our cameras. But this trend actually also applies to the European market."
The good thing is, they are working together with Cambo, and Arca Swiss to get a replacement
for the Copal Shutter because there is a growing demand for analog film.
So, that´s the future for Alpa, Cambo, and Arca Swiss, going back to film?
Good luck.
