    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:
    This back has a matching insert. Backs and inserts were finely adjusted as a pair at the factory, to ensure a perfect image. The inserts were marked with the serial number so that they could be identified.
    Condition details:
    Cosmetic: Almost no wear to the exterior.
    Mechanical: The film winding knob does not pull out or stay in correctly. A minor issue as it can still easily be wound.
    Light seals: The light seal is light tight.
    Cosmetic Condition: 6
    (Well used. Showing signs of heavy use.)
    Functional Condition: E
    (Everything functioning. Major functions have recently been professionally tested.)
