What it is
{"overview":"The Linhof Kardan is a German-made large-format view camera, a body type associated with studio and architectural work where movements such as rise, fall, shift, swing and tilt are required. Because the figure is wholesale (hammer, before commission) and more than two decades old, it should be treated only as a historical data point rather than a guide to what a Kardan is worth or sells for in 2026.","buying_guide":"On any large-format Linhof, inspect the bellows for pinholes by shining a torch inside in a darkened room, check that all standards lock firmly without drift, and verify that the geared movements run smoothly without backlash.
