My tax preparer surprised me totally today. I happened to mention film photography (imagine that) and he whipped-out a Hasselblad 500C kit several lenses, multiple backs and Metz strobes from under his desk! I was floored to say the least.
Turns out his dad was a wedding photographer and he had just started going through his father's photo gear collection and was interested in learning how to use the Hasselblad.
When I went back later that day to collect my return, I gave him a copy of the Henry Horenstein's Basic Manual on Black and White photography and a roll of Arista 400 120 film to get him started.
So he, in return, gave me a roll of Efke KB21 from his father's camera collection! I told him of the scarcity of the film and that HE should shoot it, but he insisted, so I relented!
I had been joking that I would buy a roll like this if I won the lottery, so I guess I have!
Hope it's still good; it's so old the expiry date has faded totally away!
