Fancy a Remortgage for a hasselblad

Good luck getting some 70mm film them for whoever gets it if they intend to use it, to my knowledge nobody produces 70mm anymore as few have any need for taking about 75 pictures per load (the NASA moon one was even better - 200 per load)! O.K you could probably load it with 70mm motion film, but good luck cutting it down from that 1000' roll.

Hasselblad 70mm backs are quite common, the 70mm format itself was quite popular for event photographers, individual school pictures etc as a for a 6x4.5 camera for instance (you can get a 70mm insert for the Pentax 645), one roll could shoot about 95 pictures, or about 75 for 6x6 so you could shoot for extended periods without reloading. It was also a standard film size for aerial photography, and you can still get it for that purpose from Kodak and Agfa-Geveant. As I said though its fallen out of use as digital has taken over the sort of applications where it used to be used.
 
I heard a story many, many years ago that NASA said anyone who could make it to the Moon was welcome to have one of the Hasselblads they'd left there :)
