Linhof Kardan Super Color
The Linhof Kardan Super Color is a German-made monorail large format view camera, designed for studio and architectural work where full movements (rise, fall, shift, swing, tilt) are required. It sits within Linhof's Kardan monorail line, positioned as a professional studio tool rather than a field camera.
With only two recorded UK auction hammer results, the Kardan Super Color has sold for £138 and £200, giving a current range of roughly £140–£200 and a midpoint near £170 in 2026. Because these are saleroom hammer prices rather than dealer retail, condition of the bellows, rail, and standards has a strong effect on what a particular example sells for, and complete outfits with lens boards or accessories tend to achieve more than bare bodies.
