A grand query, Elias. The standard NASA camera
up to APOLLO was the Zeiss Ikon Contarex. Once
it became obvious Zeiss Ikon was folding, NASA
went with Ha$$elblad. I am not certain just
why. Mike Fletcher, a List member, probably
knows -- he walks by night, and knows many
things, a reference you kiddies will not get.
