I have two films backs for sale, both in black.

A12 w/ Dark slide holder, latest-style ($320 + shipping)
Serial number shows it was made in '02. In really nice shape--see photos. Recently given to me--I will run a roll of film through it tomorrow to make sure it's light-tight before I sell it (I just bought the 120mm Makro--I have to test it!!!). The reason I'm selling it is I just don't like the dark slide holder (it can't be taken off--Hasselblad's latest version of this back used screws to hold it on instead of tape, and this one has the screws). I know it's the newest back, but I just much prefer the "black-dot release." Am willing to trade for a black "black-dot release" back in close to mint condition.

A12 w/ 12 Release ($175 + shipping)
Nice back. Serial number shows it was made in '95. Shows some signs of use, but still in good shape. Light-tight and working perfect--just ran film through it last week. Dark slide has some dings, but still works perfectly. Selling it because I only need two backs and I just want another "black-dot release" back in nicer shape. Nothing more to it than that.

Both backs have a matching insert, of course.

I realized I posted these in the wrong order. Photos 1-2, and 7-9 are of the A12 with 12 release, The middle 4 are for the newer style back.
 
I developed some film with the new back and confirmed it works perfectly--no light leaks or anything.

So far no interest in the backs, so I'll lower my asking price to $290 + shipping for the newer back, $160 + shipping for the older one.
 
I may list these on the auction site this weekend, I'm not sure how much they'll fetch there, but I do prefer to sell to an APUGer.

Lowering price of newer style back to $250 + shipping. If you're willing to take the more dinged up darkslide from the older back (I'd probably keep that back if the newer one sells) so that I can keep the nicer darkslide, then I can lower the price to $225. Both backs are light-tight with their respective darkslides.

I'm taking the old back (12-release) off the market for right now while I have the newer-style one listed on the auction site.

Am open to reasonable offers.
 
Bump. Will be selling to KEH in a few days if it hasn't sold here or on the auction site.
 
12 release back sold.

Newer back still available.
 
Both backs sold
