HI,
I am a little confused by this but someone on the
Hasselblad List might help. My friend, Ernst Wildi,
loaned me one of those "Lunar Hasseblads" but it was
called the MK-70, not an EL or ELM. It had the same 70mm
back came with an 80mm lens, and had the calibrated,
registered (a number on each one to I.D. it) glass plate
just in front of the film plane on which was etched
photogrammetric marks. These put small crosses in the
image to be used for photogrammetry...map making.
I used the camera to work on an unfinished series of
photos called "Resident Aliens" of people so talented
and/or outrageous they could well have been
extraterrestrials. I photographed Andy Warhol, Isaac
Asimov, Henry Geldzahler and then ran out of time and
steam due to the pressures of my advertising and fashion
work.
Sadly, Ernst wanted the camera back! LOL!!! He
said something about having to give it back to Hasselblad
but told me I could keep it for about $5000 (memory might
be spongy on his). In the 1980s that was mucho dinero but
looks like a steal now!
CHEERS!
