Hasselblad, Kodak, & Apollo 11

[@MacinteuchPlus]

@@adrianzaharia8885 space is rarely -272°c on the moon, since it's in full sunlight on the photos, it would oscillate between 125°c and -175°c, also keep in mind that it's total vacuum out there, so temperature exchanges work differently than in a usual atmosphere, therefore the cold wouldn't be such an issue, the biggest issue here would probably be drastic temperature shifts, but the rolls of film were protected by the camera body so that didn't wreck them

[@adrianzaharia8885]

@@MacinteuchPlus Thermodynamics dude...you are talking really STUPID SHIT!!! No offense. Put o roll of film in your freezer over night, take it out and then try to roll it. It will crack...already did that but try it. And you should be ashame of what you just wrote as an answer. Just learn before you speek. The camera body protect it by the space cold? Are you serious dude?????? C'mon...even a 5 year old knows that that can't protect anything by the cold. BTW your freezer runs at about -20*C...-30*C the industrial ones. That's a fact. And just for your knowledge and pls take it as an advice from a guy that has learn phisics and optics for most of his life...inform yourself and get proof about what you speek/preach/teach, etc....otherwise you will put some stupid shit in the minds of lots and lots of people on this platform and not only. Sorry for my english...it is not my native language.

[@MacinteuchPlus]

@@adrianzaharia8885 Dude, vacuum has conditions different to a pressured atmosphere, heat doesn't leave an object quickly because it has nothing to transfer itself to, the thing that has the most effect on temperature up there is whether or not it's in the sunlight, protect it from the sunlight and you will protect it from big temperature changes. Now go get educated and don't insult me anymore, you pathetic excuse of a human being.

My old man buzzed on this episode. He was a contract aerospace engineer for NASA during the Apollo missions. He thought it was cool that Hasselblads were still up there. He got me my first film camera. "Hasselblads? I haven't heard that name in awhile," he said.

It is not the model that went to the Moon - as you mention - but it does have a space connection after all: Walter Schirra took it up with him on his Mercury flight in 1962.

[@declanwhite9339]

Love what you're doing man! This shit is hilarious!! Just a quick thing that 120 film isn't 120mm, it's actually 61mm. 120 was just kodak's number to name the film type. Hence 70mm film is actually larger than 120 film But please keep doing what you're doing, I bloody love it!!

[@grainydaysss]

Yea you're totally right dude, I have since learned the errors of my ways and need to find a way to correct this video

[@luca_hc_gruber]

I think 120cm would be correct as it refers to the length of the film (if I remember correctly). Hence 220 Film being a thing, it's just longer.

[@canturgan]

It's about 4 times bigger than 35mm.

[@Ava-wu4qp]

@@luca_hc_gruber correct. 120 refers to the film length. *Correction: 120 is 83-85cm long. Apologies for the hasty assumption.

[@filmbyhari]

@@Ava-wu4qp Nope, 120 film is about 85cm long. 120 refers to the numbering system used by Kodak.

[@MrSound4pictures]

the films used were estar based, this base on which the emulsion was poured was strong enough to withstand the temperature differences and would therefore not break in the camera while being transported to the next frame. I used this type of film in the 1980's and it was commercially available as Kodak Technical Pan Film. This was a very slow dokument film in 135 casettes for Leica and the alike cameras. but with the correct developer and exposure you could get an extremely fine grain normal contrast negative out of it. You could not tear it it had to be cut.

[@AeromaticXD]

Wow such fascinating insight!

[@MacShootsFilm]

Hilarious and informative! Keep posting, dude!

[@TanyaOfMars]

My whole career basically has been working in science and mission operations for space cameras, mostly on/orbiting Mars. Since I was also a photographer outside of that, thanks to the Moon connection, I always wanted a Hasselblad. After my first holiday bonus at my first space camera job, I went to the local shop and amazingly there was a mint condition 500c with every accessory you could possibly imagine on consignment from its original owner. He was a photojournalist back in the day. It felt like fate so I immediately bought it and it’s been a prized possession for many years now. ❤ Love the amount of detail you went into in this video, down to the film types!

My grandfather actually worked on the space-division of Hasselblad.

​@shillslayer Yeah that was explained. They used zone focusing. I don't know what the zone of focus is on a 60mm Zeiss lens at f16 since I'm nowhere near rich enough to purchase one, but on my cheap Nikon lens its about 4 feet to infinity. Anything within that range will be of acceptable focus. But of course, you probably knew that.

I researched the answer myself. Apparently lower speed film transparency film does not irradiate as much as negative. They also in development took into account the radiation effects for minor radiation effect. Reminder there are many photos of Chernobyl on film and that was FAR worse radiation.

Great video. What Microphone are you using?

[@kevinrusch3627]

Well the lubricants wouldn't *dissolve* in a vacuum. Some would freeze and some would evaporate. You're looking at zero air pressure and temperature ranges from roughly -300F to +400F. So a light oil would almost certainly evaporate, and a thick grease would probably freeze. It'd be a great reason to invent teflon, but I don't think they were there yet.

[@samthekingyo]

Amazing video - got me thinking about how they lubricated the cameras. At the vacuum levels on the lunar surface my guess is they they may have used some sort of dry lubricant like molybdenum or tungsten disulfide. A bit of research says the latter is extensively used by NASA so that's my guess. Not sourced though
