As a note, astronauts used Hasselblad 500 ELs cameras specially prepared, with custom-made film backs holding a special 70 mm Kodak film. 160 colour or 200 black/white images could be shot without having to change films.

More technical information and images on Apollo mission’s Hasselblads on this page.
