[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 46442, member: 6548"] It is the anniversary of John Glenn's voyage into orbit. During this flight he made some snaps with the first camera pictured below. These snaps were the first pictures taken from space by man. He made them with a highly modified Ansco Autoset (made by Minolta for a US company! outsourcing!) Ansco Autoset are rather rare nowadays. The Autoset was the 1962 model version. They rereleased the so called "space camera" in 1963 and called it the Anscoset. Same body frame, same shutter, same super excellent tack sharp Rokkor lens. The second picture is a copy of one that I happen to own and man it is quite a camera if I may say so. So there you are a space photography history lesson!
