Art Deco Cameras

Standard Cameras

Standard Cameras Limited was a manufacturer based in Birmingham, England. The company made a range of cheap cameras branded 'Conway'. Standard Cameras traded between 1931 and 1955 and most of their Conway Cameras took 6x9cm images on 120 film. Standard Cameras had close links with Coronet Cameras who were both subsidiaries of Dufay-Chromex, colour photograph specialists. Conway cameras are very similar to some of the Coronet products with some parts being interchangeable.

Here are the Standard cameras in my collection with date of introduction and film type.

The Categories

The Art Deco cameras on this site are divided into 5 Deco categories - Proto Deco, Classic Deco, Streamlined Deco, Deco Influenced and Post Deco.

Star System

I use a star system to show Deco strength. Each camera is rated by how strongly it embodies Art Deco style, from iconic five-star classics to those with incidental Deco elements.
