    Description

    Description:
    ‘A12N’ is not a factory designation, but one that is used to distinguish between the early and later versions of the A12 back.

    In 1984 a number of changes were made to improve then:
    – the film insert has a single steel arm to retain both spools
    – the release button has a ’12’ on it
    – ‘made in Sweden by Victor Hasselblad’ was added to the side plate
    – film speed reminder is now a slot, rather than a fold down door which was often damaged

    In 1997 a further change was made that is very noticeable and somewhat overdue – a built in darkslide holder was added!
    Included:
    The insert does not have a serial number, so we cannot tell if it is matching. They were often removed if Hasselblad needed to replace the insert during a service of repair.
