Hasselblad 1997 A12N A12 Back Darkslide Holder (30212). Condition - 3E [7544].
Short 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!
