His packing of the film and developer I ordered wasn't *nearly* robust enough to withstand the abuse and trauma of the imbeciles at the USPS. When I received the package, its remains had been put in a plastic bag with a form notice from the USPS explaining how hard their job is. The package looked like someone had stood on it and then kicked it for about half a mile. Every film contained had been "popped" and every film cassette was bent and lightstruck. Amazingly, the developer was still in its bottle. Wish I had something to develop in it. Even the most incompetent USPS worker could not have accidentally done this. I think it more likely that they were checking it for something illegal and then demolished it to make it look like an accident.

The bad: it takes 4X4 (127 film), and film and a IB/manual is not included. More bad: I don't have a film scanner that takes 127 negatives. May Barnack's ghost rattle his chains elsewhere at night.
