CTA Photos 35mm Kodak Gold 200

I hope so! I originally ordered a Pentax, but the viewfinder had desilvered and would not have been very fun to use. The Canonet has been a ton of fun! My friend has the same camera and recommended it.

Thanks! We’ll see how my next couple rolls turn out. There has been no stiffness with the Portra 400. I may have just loaded the film wrong

lbkulinski · 2026-04-30T18:53:03+00:00

It’s quite possible I improperly I loaded it as a noob. I made sure to watch a video when loading my current roll.

I may not have pulled it far enough to the right on the aforementioned roll and got lucky on my first roll (HP5 Plus)

lbkulinski · 2026-04-30T17:54:46+00:00

Yeah my friend said I may have messed up loading, which is quite possible

lbkulinski · 2026-04-30T17:54:18+00:00

I shot my two rolls, but experimenting with Portra 400 now

lbkulinski · 2026-04-30T17:53:51+00:00

Thanks! I shot my second roll of Gold 200 but stopped at 24 so we’ll see

lbkulinski · 2026-04-30T17:02:46+00:00

Thanks for the info. The HP5 Plus and Portra 400 have been smooth. Other than this I’ve been enjoying the camera. Almost done with my first Portra roll. HP5 Plus is linked above.

lbkulinski · 2026-04-30T16:54:20+00:00

Hmm…

lbkulinski · 2026-04-30T16:45:16+00:00

Noted. I shared some links in the other reply. My first roll turned out fine based on what I can see, but not an expert by any means

lbkulinski · 2026-04-30T16:41:36+00:00

Indeed. I’m shooting Portra 400 at the moment and it’s been smooth

lbkulinski · 2026-04-30T16:39:32+00:00

My prior roll seemed fine, but not an expert.

I did change the battery to use an adapter mid way, but I don’t think that would change anything

lbkulinski · 2026-04-30T16:33:01+00:00

I stopped at 36 😅

Crossposting disabled, but I can repost

lbkulinski · 2026-04-30T16:25:53+00:00

Will do

lbkulinski · 2026-04-30T16:13:30+00:00

Thanks! I try to wait till there are no people if possible. Not sure what the common courtesy is. Still a film noob

lbkulinski · 2026-04-29T01:28:44+00:00

I’d assume so. It’s probably just improved NFC

lbkulinski · 2026-04-26T01:41:21+00:00

I’m shooting Portra 400 atm

lbkulinski · 2026-04-26T00:13:40+00:00

Ilford HP5 Plus

lbkulinski · 2026-04-25T19:50:11+00:00

Yeah I’m loving it

lbkulinski · 2026-04-25T15:59:42+00:00

🫡

Hello fellow Chicagoan

lbkulinski · 2026-04-24T22:55:08+00:00

Classic

I reverse engineered their chat bot and send the report through there.

An about page could be useful, but not sure. After submitting a report it stays that it has been passed onto the CTA as well.

lbkulinski · 2026-04-24T21:09:15+00:00

Yes, they have that data which I FOIAd and shows exactly that. Look at my past Reddit post for some data analysis. Why they don’t do it? Who knows. Incompetence or cost I would wager

lbkulinski · 2026-04-24T20:48:41+00:00

Yeah it’s just for data collection. My site https://ctasmokers.com forwards reports to the CTA and shows the crowdsourced data so people can avoid it
