Let’s do a little NASA math.
Take (1) Hasselblad on the moon strapped to the chest of an astroNOT.
Spend under 3hrs walking on the moon.
Take 1409 pictures changing film 20 times.
That’s 1409/3≈470
That’s almost 8 pictures every minute.
Don’t believe me? Follow along.

Meet the Hasselblad Data Camera (HDC) with Réseau plate, fitted with a Zeiss Biogon 60mm ƒ/5.6 lens. It was adapted for NASA to take 70 pictures per cartridge of film instead of the usual 12. Imagine how fun it was to change film cartridges in a “spacesuit”.
They took 1409 pictures in roughly 3 hours. 1408 usable. Take a look through your photos on your phone.
How many out of 1409 are clear, historical images.
Keep in mind you are looking at the screen while taking those not having it strapped to your chest with no view finder.
