Linhof Kardan GT 4x5 View Camera Fully Service New Red Bellows
Linhof Kardan GT 4x5 View Camera Fully Service New Red Bellows
Linhof Kardan GT 4x5 view camera in very nice condition. This camera was built around 1987 and has survived very well, minor signs of use only for 32 years of life so far. The GT is a full featured camera with telescoping monorail, it is robust enough for studio photography and at 9.7 lbs, light enough to take into the field.
It is also a nice addition to own a monorail for studio work and use Technika for field work.
This camera just received an extensive overhaul service, nothing was overlooked or left undone during the 16+ hours of restoration service.. The cost to bring an as-is camera to this level would be around $750 of repairs and new Linhof bellows.
-Full mechanical CLA service to bring back to proper function. All movements are smooth with proper amount of tension, all locks are tight. Camera fully disassembled during service, all old lubrication removed, mechanisms cleaned and rebuilt to proper operation.
-New correct original Linhof brand Red bellows installed.
The camera has been fully CLAd and functions smoothly again. The ground glass is original Linhof and in good condition. Includes Kardan to Technika lens board adapter to use the smaller and more common Technika lens boards.
A beautiful complete camera ready to use, all GT cameras are somewhat rare now, many were heavily used and quite beat up condition.
This camera represents a turn key, ready to shoot camera. Most of the vintage Linhof cameras out there all need this extensive service due to age, this one is functioning in optimal condition again. There were also 5x7 & 8x10 GT rear standard conversion kits made, so if desired can be a multi format camera to build upon.
Camera is ready for a new home and to be enjoyed again. Full 12 month operational warranty covering all mechanics is included for new owner!
