[Leica] Hasselblad/Leica on the moon

[dennis at hale-pohaku.net (Dennis)]

I recall seeing a photo of this camera. Huge "knobs" attached to 
manipulate it. I imagine reloading film to be what would kill it from 
being used on a mission.

Found this one though, never heard of it before:

In the end, at that time, the only thing that made sense was the Hassy.
