I've acquired an A12 back (new style, with the darkslide holder). I'm not a big fan of the darkslide holder--I don't like the look and it takes up a bit more space in my bag, which is already a small bag for a Hasselblad kit (Hadley Pro).
Does anyone know of any way to remove the darkslide holder without ruining the back? (And is there actually leatherette behind the holder?). I obviously don't want to do trial and error here--I'd appreciate knowing if anyone has firsthand knowledge of this.
I realize the other option is to sell the back and buy another. But I've been having a really tough time finding a nice A12 back in black. I really like the look of the "black dot release" backs without the holder, and I have one of those (I also have a slightly more beat up "12 release" back I wouldn't mind upgrading...).
I'd like to find more of the "black dot release" backs, but I just don't see them in nice shape too often anymore. And if the dark slide holder comes off easily then that solves that problem!
