"Henry Spencer" wrote in message ... (It has been suggested that on the occasions when Aldrin had the camera, he deliberately refrained from getting a good shot of Armstrong because he was still annoyed about not being first out. While this isn't out of the question, to me it seems quite plausible that he was simply busy and the possibility never occurred to him.) This is very likely the result of the mission planners still thinking in terms of science and engineering and not public relations. |

One was meant to be used by a guy in a space suit, while the other was not. They had different lenses on them too. ....Which begs the question as to how long one of the black-body 'Blads could have endured the lunar environment had the aluminum one crapped out. Were the lenses that significantly different that it couldn't have been used for EVA, or were they removable and interchangeable? Armstrong: "Ok, we'll swap lenses here...hey!" Aldrin: "Dang. You're right, I see it...those no-good, dirty, know-it-all..." Duke: "Tranquility, Houston. Say again?" Armstrong: "Charlie, please ask the photo guys in the back room which idiot authorized screw mount for the EVA camera lens, and bayonet-mount for the LM cabin camera. I think Buzz would like to have a few choice words with them..." OM -- "No ******* ever won a war by dying for | http://www.io.com/~o_m his country.

Neil Armstrong took this picture of Edwin Aldrin, showing a reflection in Aldrins visor of Armstrong and the Lunar Module. This is one of the only photographs showing Armstrong, who carried the camera, on the Moon. Aldrin later said, "My fault, perhaps, but we had never simulated this in training." http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary.../apollo11.html --- Replace you know what by j to email |

This is Zig Zag Productions in London. It's a standard 70mm 120 roll, non-perforated. The mockup used the modern Biogon, a reseau plate, and removed the entire viewfinder assembly. It's at the lab right now, so I can't measure the image size. -- | The universe is not required to conform | Jay Windley to the expectations of the ignorant. | webmaster @ clavius.org |
