Well at least according to this informative photo section at the Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal I am 🙂 DH found this photo before I did (I was entranced by the antique photo equipment) and with a chuckle he called me over to see it. Then it was my turn to chuckle. I converted all of the images to black and white to go along with the time period of the pieces. The cameras were in shades of brown leather, brass, and mahogany wood.

Wonderful! I’ll note that I’m still shooting with a view camera not much different from the Conley camera in your photos!
Fantastic! Have you posted a picture of the camera and a photo taken with it? I’d love to see that.
I did .. but I’m pleased you have finally found out, you wouldn’t have believed me if I’d told you…
I might have but thank you, dear Bulldog 🙂
I also knew. These cameras are pretty cool. We’ve come a long way.
Thank you. Can you imagine just how long the exposures were on these things?
