Conley Model XV
Conley's Model XV plate folding bed camera was made from 1905 to 1915. It was available for the formats 4×5", 5×7", 3¼×5¼", 4 1/4¼×6½", and 6½×8½" . Convertible lenses like the triple-convertible Wollensak 6.5" f4 / 10.5" f16 / 14.5" f16 together with the up-, down- and side-wards moveable front standard and the tiltable bed made it more versatile than the average plate folders.
