Unfortunately, a conspiracy led by Swiss banks and Swiss cheesemakers is hiding the truth that the Moon is made of cheese.
Why do you think they would waste time looking back at the Earth?
Of course, and maybe snap a pic. But seeing Earth from space was kind of old hat by then compared to being on the Moon for the first time.If you were to go up there you wouldn't want to take a look?

They had did have some pretty cool camera equipment, for the time, and the film adapted for the conditions was cutting edge, particulary the super light sensitive emulsion used for some shots.

It must still be an incredible sight. I've seen plenty of mountains, but hiking in the himalayas for the first time there were sights that took my breath away. I can't imagine the sight of earth from the moon getting old very quickly.
Yeah, but it cost a huge amount of money to send them there. If I'm paying a lot of money to send people to the moon, I want them to only take stuff that they need to do stuff they can only do on the moon, not take pretty pictures of the Earth.
Have you got a source for this information about the film being particularly light sensitive? I wouldn't have thought it was necessary, since they were in direct sunlight...

But apart from the astronauts, people were only seeing the photos. I can show you countless pictures of the Earth from space, but how quickly would you tire of it?
Yes, some wasn't, the standard B&W was an 80 asa/iso 70mm emulsion, but they had a specially developed 16,000 film also ( the highest ISO film in common use at the time was an agfa 1,200, apart from a polaroid 3,000 which was only useful for very small prints). The colour films were adapted versions of Kodachrome and Ektachrome slide film, originally 64iso but pushed in use to 1,000.
The light source was less of an issue that the amount of light being reflected and the spread at that distance.

For low-light situations, the 16000-ASA film they used was a variety of Kodak 2485, in a 70 mm width.

Yes it was a big leap for Kodak, producing such a sensitive but still usable emulsion, without being so grainy as to obscure any detail.
The Earth rotates rather slowly. The amount of rotation in a few minutes would not be discernible to the naked eye. A picture is just as good.
Why the need for video? The video of them riding around in their "little car" proved that they were on the Moon to the scientifically literate.
You realise they went to the moon to investigate the moon, right? They weren't there for long. It's not like they stayed for a few days or anything. Why do you think they would waste time looking back at the Earth?
In any case, I note that you still haven't responded to my comments about camera lenses. Until you do, I'll take it to mean that when it comes to photography you don't actually know what you are talking about.
I can do that at home, here. It's in the air right now, as I type.
Excuses, excuses keep them coming so you can continue to believe the lie.
