N.B. Apollo 16 Commander John Young (left) and Lunar Module pilot Charles Duke check out camera equipment of the Lunar Rover while Command Module pilot Ken Mattingly participates in EVA training aboard the Command Module. "We spent hundreds of hours training in the spacesuits, collecting pseudo-samples, photographing the samples in place and after we had collected them,' said Duke. 'It taught us how to point the camera and how to center the picture without a viewfinder. The cameras were hung on our chests, and we got to where we could just point the thing and guess the distances. We were pretty good at it; I was pleased with the way they turned out" (Schick and Van Haaften, p. 114).
Estimate $300-500
