NASA and Hasseblad book
Sun, 01/10/2010 - 12:02 — adminI am preparing a book about the collaboration between NASA and Hasselblad from 1962 till the end of the Apollo program in 1972.
I am looking for any kind of data about 500C, SWC and 500 EL cameras used by NASA: how they were prepared, technically modified and enhanced, some photographs, Hasselblad serial numbers and NASA numbers ...
I would also like to make an inventory of Hasselblad cameras in museums and private collections around the world.
All photographs published in my book will show "Collection of" with your name or simply "Private collection" as per your instructions.

Thanks in advance,

Hasselblad 70/500 film magazine
Thu, 10/29/2009 - 17:23 — admin
One of the first Hasselblad 70/500 film magazine made with serial number 1004.
It is the 4th one made with the notice "Made in Switzerland" engraved below the serial number. The original country was no longer mentioned after that.
I did not know these magazines were made in Switzerland. I would welcome any piece of information about their creator.
The 70/500 magazine could contain 500 photographs on a 30-meter long film roll, it was the rarest and the most expensive Hasselblad accessory back then. 2,320 US dollars in 1973 when it was introduced on market. It was listed on catalog until 1980.
