The Linhof Color 4×5 was a monorail bellows camera made by Linhof since 1959. It was a very versatile camera with turn-able plate holder on the back. Special metal alloys were used so that its weight was kept as low as 4 1/2 lbs. Of course it was prepared for all kinds of lens board movements. It was advertised as precision camera for professional applications.
