Apollo 11 did in fact have two Hasselblads, but one was without the reseau plate in the back. This one was used to take images out the window of the LM and was left onboard when the astronauts got off. If you see a 70mm photograph from the 11 mission without the crosshairs, it was taken with this camera.

And also without the thermal cladding, hence why it had to be left aboard the LM during the EVA.
On the other missions each astronaut had his own camera.
Sorry, BertL, I wasn't very clear in my post. I assumed everyone would recognize the photo of Al Bean on Apollo 12's first EVA holding the SESC. Showtime apparently either thought it was from Apollo 11, where there was only one EVA camera, or that all missions only had one EVA camera. On the second EVA the astronauts had a problem with the integrated handgrip and mounting assembly on one of the cameras and so it was discarded, but that was quite a while after this famous picture of Bean was taken.

Weren't there two manually-wound Hasselblad superwide-angle cameras with 38 mm lenses carried in the Eagle besides the one electric Data Camera with 60 mm lens and a reseau plate? And one Hasselblad Electric camera with two lens choices (either 80 mm or 250 mm) was carried in the command module which brings total to four Hasselblads on Apollo 11.
