Hasselblad manual
A guy on APUG posted this link which he found at a Finnish photo-forum and I thought worth sharing with FADU.

Thanks Clive
Very interesting - some good advice in there : "for Earth shots don't bother focusing, just set lens to infinity" - I'll remember that next time I'm up there Great link - well spotted and thanks for posting. |

I'm no expert on space travel, but I'd have thought the hyperfocal distance would be appropriate for those "infinity and beyond" moments

I don’t know if NASA had a special film produced for space shots, but without the diffusion of light in our atmosphere, I would have thought the intensity of light in space would justify this. However, the shots they got, if on normal film do seem to be pretty good.

If FADU moderators will allow me to deviate from film photography related to the astronauts. I have often been fascinated by the experience of Collins from the original moon landing, as it was his job to stay in the obiter. How strange it must have been to go behind the dark side of the moon and be alone and totally separated from earth and humanity not only by distance, but the mass of the moon. Would not such an epic journey be a good basis for a film?

"Each film magazine would typically yield 160 color and 200 black and white pictures on special film. Kodak was asked by NASA to develop thin new films with special emulsions. On Apollo 8, three magazines were loaded with 70 mm wide, perforated Kodak Panatomic-X fine-grained, 80 ASA, b/w film, two with Kodak Ektachrome SO-68, one with Kodak Ektachrome SO-121, and one with super light-sensitive Kodak 2485, 16,000 ASA film. There were 1100 color, black and white, and filtered photographs returned from the Apollo 8 mission" |
