Hasselblad 500EL/70
Little is documented about the Hasselblad 500EL/70. It's a medium format single-lens reflex (SLR) camera in Hasselblad's modular 500 series, so it takes interchangeable lenses, viewfinders, and film magazines. The "/70" suffix is said to indicate compatibility with 70mm film magazines. The same source also describes the camera as designed for 120 film. That's an apparent inconsistency, and no second source has surfaced to resolve it.
Beyond that, the record goes quiet. No production years, no original price, no shutter speeds, lens mount details, or weights are documented. A current eBay listing claims an association with the NASA Apollo 11 moon landing, but that's a seller's pitch and can't be verified. No period reviews have turned up either.
What is genuinely known:
- Medium format SLR in the modular Hasselblad 500 series
- Interchangeable lenses, viewfinders, and film magazines
- "/70" designation tied to 70mm film magazine compatibility; also described as a 120-film camera
- One eBay listing found, asking around $195
