The Kodak Chevron is a 6×6cm leaf-shutter camera for 620 film. 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 78mm Ektar with maximum aperture of f/3.5 and top shutter speed of 1/800 of a second. An 828-format (non-perforated 35mm) 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.
