The only camera that made it to the moon and back has been sold off at an auction for 910,000 dollars.
Terukazu Fujisawa, founder of Japan's Yodobashi Camera retail chain, is the proud new owner of a unique piece of photographic history: a Hasselblad 500 camera that was used on the moon during the Apollo 15 mission in 1971.
The Japanese collector won a hotly contested auction with a bid of 550,000 euros, which together with a premium for the auctioneers' expenses brings its total price to 660,000 euros or just over 910,000 dollars, the Verge reported.
Though it isn't the first Hasselblad to reach the moon - Neil Armstrong had one with him on the first manned lunar mission in 1969 - this auction item is special in the fact that it's returned to Earth.
As Hasselblad's website explains, the other cameras used on the surface of the moon have been left there due to their bulk and weight, with the Apollo astronauts keeping only the film magazines.
