Hasselblad re-issues 1969 press release on moon landing cameras

“Custom film backs were used to hold 70mm film that could handle 150-200 exposures per roll, and the camera that was used to shoot from the Moon’s surface was attached to Armstrong’s space suit.”

Imagine having that many shots… of the moon…

“Sadly, to lighten the Eagle so it could take off again two of the mission’s Hasselblad bodies and lenses were left on the Moon along with about $1 million worth of other equipment.”
