I remember those lunar cameras, they were Hasselblads. They took large-format roll film. You could get great low-light shots with Tri-X-Pan film.

What's cool about the cameras in modern phones is the sensitivity of the CMOS camera element is so great that the f-stop of the lens is high enough that you get a pinhole-camera effect and things can stay in very sharp focus even in fairly low-light.

When I got married back in 02, my ceremony was the last film job our photographers did. They moved to digital rather grudgingly. Old school film artists who did beautiful work.

They were eventually crushed in the time of the win like many and to find other lines of work.
