I went to a flea market today and found this Linhof Kardan 8x10, very worn. It was so ugly that I didn't really got excited in looking more closely.
It was lacking several parts: bellows, ground glass, and tripod block. Maybe some more parts. Included was this Scheider Tele-Xenar 360mm f/5.5 — which I didn't look more closely either, but looked ugly. I didn't check which shutter was included with the lens, if at all.
The seller was asking $500 (USD), but seemed to be willing to negotiate. I am not really sure it's worth it.
The camera looked (in style) like the one in the attached picture. I mean, the standards, knobs, locking levers, were more or less like this:
What do you guys think?
