Linhof Kardan GT 8x10" / 18x24cm Camera

 

The 8x10 version of the Linhof Kardan GT combines lightweight construction with optimum sturdiness for mobile studio work and for location shooting.

Lightweight system camera for studio and location, combining the proven design details of the KARDAN range with an innovative monorail and new base tilt elements providing tri-axial camera adjustments to yield yaw-free movements both with direct and indirect displacements. The telescoping monorail guarantees outstanding stability. Special dovetail fittings allow to freely slide the entire monorail back and forth on all tripod heads thus featuring full macro focusing capability and wide angle efficiency as no encircling clamp has to be used. Center swings and tilts for uncomplicated Scheimpflug adjustments, factory adjusted parallel locks on the base tilt elements guarantee perfect camera alignment also with inclined monorail. There are three formats of the Kardan GT available: 4x5, 5x7, 8x10 inch
Features
yaw free system with telescoping rail and optical axis movements. Available in 4x5 to 8x10"
