One advantage of medium format film over 35 mm based cameras is that you only "need" one medium format camera to shoot different kind of films in parallel. Having a few film backs provides a very sufficient capability to use different films without adding too much bulk in the bag. I have bought two Leica M cameras to be able to shoot with the same lenses but for example color and B&W films. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbealnz Posted December 3, 2018 Share #344 Posted December 3, 2018 Didn't work for me Martin, LOL. I do agree though, one body, and whatever lenses you want or think you need, plus film backs for whatever comes up. The chrome SWC was something I had lusted years for, and when I found it a few years ago, grabbed it. The 903SWC was pure indulgence recently, never used still wrapped and at a price I knew I'd regret not taking, so I did. AND, a 500C/M coming, oh boy, beware Logan, it IS a rabbit hole.

I told myself that, er, I mean that's exactly why I bought two Leica M bodies too Kidding aside, hot-swappable backs is another feature of the Hasselblad that appeals to me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambro51 Posted December 19, 2018 Share #346 Posted December 19, 2018 It’s the 50th Anniversary of Apollo 8, the first “rocket to the Moon”. On TV they interviewed Astronaut William Anders, who used a NASA Hasselblad to shoot the “Earthrise” photograph. They brought out a box, and with white gloves handed Anders the very camera he used. He seemed surprised to see it, and said he didn’t remember how to use it! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello Everybody, That is interesting because I thought that they left the cameras on the Moon to cut down on weight during lift off. Perhaps this is another example of the same model that was used on the Moon, or perhaps they brought 1 of the camera bodies back from the Moon so that they would have an example of the actual cameras used to put in a Museum or/& to hand to 1 of the Astronauts who took the actual photos during Anniversary Ceremonies 50 years later. I think that there was something written about this in Hasselblad House Literature at the time.

Apollo 11 mission landed. Hello Ambro51, You are right. I was thinking about the first Moon Landing. Because: At that time I watched the 1969 Moon landing with 1 of the people who designed & built the Gravimeter that was assembled on the Moon during the 1st Moon landing. As we watched, he said that the assembly on the Moon's surface was done correctly.

pico Posted December 19, 2018 Share #351 Posted December 19, 2018 (edited) Apollo 10! I had been recently released from military service to the USA after a three-year overseas deployment, at a drive-in theater under the landing vector of OHare airport, jets streaming over our car landing lights blazing, sipping a beer, listening to the Apollo radio news cast while also watching 2001, a Space Odyssey with my lovely girlfriend. Talk about a life-changing event! Edited December 19, 2018 by pico Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know pico, you would be amazed about how many things there are that you & I have in common. Best Regards, Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff S Posted December 20, 2018 Share #355 Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) The article mentions cameras used both from the moon landing and orbit... and from various missions. At least a dozen Hasselblads were tossed on the surface to reduce weight. Jeff Edited December 20, 2018 by Jeff S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
