Hi everyone,

Was today at NASA Space Adventure exhibition and seen this camera.
It is one of the cameras used in Apollo space program in 60s.

Maybe not our type but worth a look at it.

Enjoy!

There's a 2018 book Hasselblad & The Moon Landing by Deborah Ireland, Ammonite Press that gives the whole story on the various cameras used in the Mercury through Apollo years.
It features many photos, and the book is square, an ode to the 6x6 120 film format of Hassys. It also talks about how they modified the camera to use 70mm movie film in larger film backs, and a whole bunch more.
Recommended reading if you own/covet a Hasselblad and want to know about its curious history.
