Does any of you have any experience with a 4x5 Linhof Kardan master L from the seventies?
I've looked around the net for info on this model but it's very scarce.
I'm looking for a super sturdy 4x5 monorail and I've come across this camera for a very good prize. It seems wonderfully overbuild in the typical linhof style. Two things worry me. I hope it's not as heavy as a Kardan master GTL (I don't mind heavy, I need a sturdy camera, but the Master gtl at 9 kilos is over the top, I hope it's no more than 6 kilos max), and secondly how easy would it be to find a bagbellows for this thing?
The camera comes with a technika board adapter so I'm not worried about lensboards.
Hope any of you have any experience with this thing.
Kind Regards
Mads
