The Hasselblad 500 EL was a medium format film camera manufactured by the Hasselblad Corporation of Sweden from 1968 to 1984. It was a motor-driven camera with a number of advance engineering features which made the Hasselblad 500 EL far above the ordinary. One could take pictures with the aid of a timer, by radio, or using remote release cords. One could also switch the camera to automatic and take a series of rapid sequence shots.

The standard lens supplied with the Hasselblad 500 EL was a Karl Zeiss Planar 80mm f/2.8 with a 52ยบ angle of view. This lens rendered high quality sharp pictures. The 500 EL used seven interchangeable lenses, each of them featuring Synchro-Compur shutter with exposure value, automatic diaphragm, and depth of field indicator. Shutter speeds were arranged in geometrical progression running from 1 to 1/500 sec plus B. Shutter speeds were set with the speed setting ring of the lens.
The Hasselblad 500 EL was used by NASA on the Apolo 11 mission in 1969.
