NASA astronauts often posed with Hasselblad cameras, be it for individual portraits or official crew photos.
Two examples;
1967 official individual portrait of astronaut Karl Henize

.
1968 official Apollo 7 crew photo, a photo series during which Walter Schirra was wearing a Rolex Daytona 6240 on riveted bracelet

Well, a man needs goals.

In the meantime, you can get a white silk scarf and strut that.

Remember, we love pictures! 馃榾

As the question was asked about Hasselblad vs Leica (or something else)... we'll have to say " something else "
馃槜
As a contract was signed between NASA & Hasselblad, we see three other makes of cameras onboard Gemini & early Apollo missions:
Nikon ... RCA - Radio Corp America (hand-held TV cameras) and Maurer ( DAC - Data Acquisition Camera )
Check: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_NASA_cameras_on_spacecraft
.
Here's an October 21, 1966 photo showing Gemini XII pilot Edwin Buzz Aldrin installing a Maurer 70 mm DAC still camera in the capsule.
The Maurer could be used with three types of lenses; standard, low-light and ultra-violet.
