I`ve recently aquired a Linhof Kardan Standard 4x5 monorail. What a fantastic lightweight monorail camera it is, but try as I have, I cannot find any reference to this camera. As the bellows were shot full of pinholes, I replaced them with a new set (short 8 inch) bellows as I only shoot with a 90mm Super Angulon and shorter focal length lenses. I also cut the rail back to 12 inches, making this is an amazing lightweight at 2.1 kg, (minus lensboard and lens) but it seems strange there is little mention of this model 4x5 Linhof. Does anyone have any info on this camera? It has a revolving Graflok back with detachable (spring) G/G screen, with all the movements you`d ever need with amazing sturdiness. Any comments regarding this Kardan Standard would be most welcome.
Cheers from OZ.
