Help, does anyone have links to detailed photos of the Hasslebad moon camera? I need different angle close up photos which would enable me to read any writing and detail on.

Thanks

When I visited the space and rocket center museum at Huntsville several years ago, I think that there was one on display. I'm not sure if it's still there, but if you email someone at the center they may be able to provide photos or information on it? Hope this helps.

Another spot I remember seeing a decent picture of this camera is an ad for Hasselblad in the issue of National Geographic that had the record and all that featured Apollo 11. (Its been a while since I saw it - 5 years)? The five volume Petersen's series also had a good section about the photographic equipment.

All my Mercury thru Skylab stuff is in storage here, but I will dig it out if you want additional info.

Hope this might be of use.

Thanks to all who responded. Dave dsenechal57 sent me some awesome closeup jpg's of the camera with mount.
