The KI Monobar is a 35mm monorail camera, made by Kennedy Instruments Ltd, a division of Ilford, from 1958 until 1965.[1] The camera was designed by medical photographers Charles Engel and Dr Peter Hansell. It uses standard 135 film cassettes, loaded in a magazine back. The standard model of the camera (type U) has the camera movements (front and rear rise, tilt and swing) that are more familiar features of large-format cameras. There was also a simpler type F without movements, for applications like microscopy where movements are not useful.[1]
