Kodak Chevron

<1383248623_738f7ee229.jpg>

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!
