Hi Group,

Is there a way of telling the manufacture date of Blads via their serial
numbers? Because I don't know if it's an urban myth but, word has it
that somehow the name: VICTOR HASSELBLAD contains the number key for the
manufacture date.

Any clues???

Not exactly.

Convert letters into numbers using the table

V H P I C T U R E S
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0

to get the last two digits of the year. E.g. RI = 84
