Black and gold Hasselblad 500 C/M

This is the most beautiful camera. Ever.  It's from the Swedish brand, Hasselblad, ca. 1957.

I love the golden accents.  And that it uses film.  It was part of their V-series that introduced a modular design to the unit.  The viewfinder, the lenses, the film crank - all interchangeable, a quality that appealed to NASA so much that they have been using them on missions ever since.
