Linhof Kardan 4x5 generic lensboards

[Tom Diekwisch]

I am wondering whether there is any source out there for Linhof 4x5 generic lensboards. I know they have them for Technika, but I haven't come across any source for the Kardan series. They tend to get expensive with $150 a pop or so.

Although I have never seen a generic board, my solution was to purchase a board which converts the Kardan to use the Technika style boards. These are more readily available used and are also produced by many other manufacturers at lower cost than the Linhof boards. They are also much smaller and easier to pack around.

Tom,

I have a Linhof karden super colour and have the same problem. I was able to purchase a board to convert the Kardan board to accept the technica boards which are more readily available for about $150. This makes them more transportable and also if you have a field camera that accepts the linhof/wista boards you can use your lenses on that.
