The [[Kodak]] Chevron is a [[6X6]] leaf-shutter [[620]] [medium format] camera. Much like its more popular cousin, the [[Medalist]], it is a higher-end member of the Kodak 620 camera family. It is equipped with a 75mm Ektar with maximum aperture of f3.5 and top shutter speed of 1/800 of a second. An [[828]] [non-perforated 35mm] format adapter came with the camera originally and the finder adjusts appropriately.
 
  
The Camera was made in Rochester between 1953-56 and is of an extremely durable and heavy metal construction. Do not drop it on your foot! The lens is also slightly radioactive, so don't sleep with it either!
