The film was stored in metallic containers that were not penetrated by the radiation.

They used special cameras which had heavy filtering to eliminate the high levels of UV and IR going into the lens. The film itself was special, developed especially for the missions. Its nothing like the plastic-backed film you put in your 35mm camera.

Bear in mind the light intensity there would be much higher than on the earths surface, so very insensitive film might be more appropriate. The astronauts had visors on their helmets. One of the early video cameras was destroyed by pointing it at the sun.

The cameras were Hassleblads. Very top of the range and very expensive. They are all still there.....let's go get 'em!
