The usual frame size of 35mm still cameras is 24×36 mm, however half-frame cameras typical use an image area of 18×24 mm. One net result of this is that a roll of film can typically contain twice the number of exposures as in a full frame 35mm camera (that is, a roll that is nominally 36 exposures allows 72 in the half-frame format).
Even these days, collectible Alpa cameras can fetch quite a high auction price. [1] It is estimated that as few as 40,000 cameras of all models of Alpa were made during the company's 40-year history.

One, the original Burdlo, featured a modified lens board with two lenses but essentially the same film advance to take full-frame stereo pictures.
The 2016 Olympus PEN-F pays tribute to the old 1960's PEN F-series half-frame cameras with its name and design.

It pays tribute to the above-mentioned old PEN F half-frame SLR. These cameras look alike as well.
