I keep wondering if they are going to wind up in a big trademark dispute with a company in Switzerland, of course the fact that they have been making Alpha Cameras for a half century or so probably does not make any difference to Sony.
Nope, that Swiss company uses the name Alpa. The current makers of Alpa cameras have nothing to do with the old company, Pignons SA, that made the Alpa SLR cameras for so many years. Pignons went bankrupt and the current folks bought the trademark at the bankruptcy auction. They're nice people and make fine cameras, but really have nothing to do with the old Alpa.
