The company originally became known for its classic analog medium-format cameras that used a waist-level viewfinder. Perhaps the most famous use of the Hasselblad camera was during the [[Apollo program]] missions when the first humans [[Moon landing|landed on the Moon]]. Almost all of the still photographs taken during these missions used modified Hasselblad cameras. In 2016, Hasselblad introduced the world's first digital compact mirrorless medium-format camera, the X1D-50c, changing the portability of medium-format photography. Hasselblad produces about 10,000 cameras a year from a small three-storey building.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Savov|first1=Vlad|title=This is how the world's most covetable cameras get made|url=https://www.theverge.com/2018/2/6/16977522/hasselblad-camera-factory-tour|access-date=6 February 2018|work=[[The Verge]]|date=6 February 2018}}</ref>[[File:Hasselbladnew.jpg|thumb|Former Hasselblad headquarters built in 2003 (now occupied by [[Sveriges Television|Sveriges Television AB]])]]
