New book : Hasselblad and the Moon

New book : Hasselblad and the Moon

Being a collector of Hasselblad cameras for years, I naturally became interested in Hasselblad cameras used by the NASA for the Conquest of the Moon.

During my initial search, I quickly noticed that documentation related to these cameras was scarce and mostly incomplete.

So I started to collect cameras, lenses, photographs, instruction leaflets and all the data I could gather about Hasselblad and the NASA.

Using Hasselblad cameras, American astronauts took photographs of the surface of the Moon which will forever remain the most famous photographs of the 20th century. That is History.

And as it is the case with most major historical events, there are some unanswered questions.

The one I am interested in today is: how many Hasselblad cameras did the NASA used during Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions ?
