A Linhof Kardan. Looks like a part from a Linhof Auxillary Standard used to attach two 45 bellows together for longer extensions, it is hard to see the color but if it is not black it is probably from the Kardan B. If it is black then it is from a later Kardan camera. The recess with the holes is for a Linhof accessory shoe which is actually the mount for a Linhof Compendium, the two rectangular recesses are where the springs for the accessory shoe are positioned. Those shoes are available from Linhof service centers but someone has to drill and tap the holes to attech the shoe and springs. There isn't much need for the shoe on the Auxilliary Standard. It is needed for a front standard.
This one does not have round locking knobs like later versions do so this is probably one from the mid 70's. What it is missing is the mounting block that mounted it to the monorail and the knob and screw and washer to attach this piece to the block.
wow, thank you so much for your reply.
I was in trouble about which bellows frame should I get to have a perfect fit on the rear side of it.
... and... do you think a sinar lens board does it works on the front?
No, a Sinar board will not fit. Only a Linhof Kardan board and the Kardan bellows will fit.Originally Posted by asmariglia
so.. i hope to find something soon.
thank you !!!
Actually a Linhof Kardan board might not fit as well since some of these were only designed to accept a bellows on each end.
I use one on my Kardan B 5 x 7 to attach a 4 x 5 bellows for longer lenses
But the lensboards seem to fit just fine
