Description Technical Specs
 
The Hasselblad name has been linked with cameras almost since the early days of photography itself and our tradition of designing cameras with photographers in mind, for superior image quality, for reliability and versatility goes back more than half a century. The story behind our cameras is almost as fascinating as the cameras themselves. From the first space journey in 1962, Hasselblad cameras have played an integral part in the Space program, capturing the images that help us to understand our world and its surroundings. A range of special modifications and improvements were necessary for the cameras to meet the stringent demands of space travel. We then took the knowledge we learned from these original lunar cameras and brought it back to earth, further improving the Hasselblad line.

Combining traditional skills, the development of special techniques, and a passion for perfection, the Lunar is born from exceptional quality. Lunar is unique because each model is perfected one by one, yet different as only the hand of an artist can make them. Our collection comprises five models, each with their own form and style. The functionality and specification of each model is identical - choosing your grip and top plate material lets you reflect your individuality. The different Lunar designs include:

Black leather. Stylishly durable. The delicately textured, firm leather grip is in a class of its own. The grip recounts a tale of elegance that your fingers can read by covering the countless paths scored by the texture of this extraordinary material.

Design: Hasselblad has entrusted to Lunar the demanding task of reinterpreting the appeal of a myth - the legendary 500C of 1957, the first camera to go into space. Thanks to this camera some of the most powerful and iconic images of our time have been captured. Today the Lunar revives the timeless charm of the 500 through the classic chrome-plated frame, made smooth and sinuous by the total absence of edges. Even the contrast in colour between the camera body, the lens and the protruding control buttons is faithfully reproduced to offer an evocative vintage look with a decisively elegant appeal. Ergonomics: Careful and meticulous engineering research has led to the creation of an unprecedented camera. The perfect calibration of its body makes it possible for Lunar to support both compact and professional DSLR lenses while always ensuring optimum balance. The relationship between user and camera is completely personalised with the option of choosing your favourite material for the handgrip. Anyone who has the pleasure of holding a Lunar has experienced the comfort and warmth of a perfect grip; an almost magnetic effect that causes irresistible attraction. Materials: Talent, patience and elegance with an artisan’s touch. Carefully selected leather and wood are turned into timeless stylish details recalling the know-how of authentic artisan masters. Traditional skills, the development of special techniques, a passion for perfection: everything comes together to create these objects of exceptional quality, unique because they are perfected one by one, different as only the hand of an artist can make them.
