Standard Cameras Ltd. were a manufacturer based in Birmingham, England. They made a cheap camera range branded Conway. Most (if not all?) of these Conway Cameras took 6x9cm images on 120 film.

The cameras were very similar to some of the Coronet products - Standard certainly had close links, and may have been the same company (see link to MadeInBirmingham.org).

Standard Cameras Ltd. traded between 1931-1955[1].
