Scarce and desirable limited edition commemorative model of the Hasselblad 500 EL/M medium format film camera honoring the brand's legacy of '20 Years in Space, 1962–1982,' no. 0370 [of 1500], complete with its Carl Zeiss Distagon 1:4 f=50mm lens. Featuring a 'lunar gray' case, the camera bears a special serialized plate on the side honoring the company's achievement: "Hasselblad, 1962–1982, 20 Years in Space." In fine condition, with some light wear to the camera.
The first Hasselblad 500C cameras were used on the last two Project Mercury missions—MA-8 and MA-9—in 1962 and 1963, and subsequently used throughout Project Gemini. They captured some of the earliest, most iconic images of Americans in space. Hasselblad continued to provide cameras to NASA throughout the Apollo program, including those used on the lunar surface.
