Linhof Technikardan 23s Complete 6x9 View Camera

Linhof Technikardan 23s Complete 6x9 View Camera

This is a totally different view camera. The studio on the go. The Technikardan perfectly combines the compactness of the classic Linhof Technika dropped design and the optical bench versatility of the Kardan series.

It is a compact and mobile camera system designed for the demanding pro who needs to travel light but also wants to exploit all the possibilities of a fully adjustable view camera system. The disengageable click-stops assure positive zero settings for faster operation. The patented concept of the rotating standards allows to fold the camera to extremely compact dimensions. There are two formats available: 6x9 and 4x5/9x12.
