In 1969, American astronauts landed on surface of the moon by Apollo 11 and this successful Lunar Mission impacted the human history significantly. The 500EL Camera was designed and produced for this particular lunar mission. Since the camera was designed for astronauts, some changes were made. One of the biggest changes is the absence of mirror and waist-level finder in order to reduce weight. Besides the control knobs and the handle on the dark slide were enlarged for use with space gloves . The camera comes with a Carl Zeiss Planar Compur 2.8/80mm (#4591811), as well as Carl Zeiss Sonar 5.6/250mm lens (#4382139) with “SEB33100032” and “S/N 1022” engraved, and A200 Magazine (#33100082) with “TE 400433” engraved. It also comes with a Lunar mission booklets that were made by Hasselblad. This set is very rare and limited on the market now.
