I just fixed several days ago this one, the mirror was displaced a bit because the glue that holds it to his base melted because heat, so i just took a hair dryer and re-heated the mirror box and pushed it into place again, now it seems to work beautifully.
Teh cam is basically a rebranded Cosina, and i got some Kodak Gold 400 very very cheap(it's the only film i could find on my place)
last time i used this camera was like ten years ago and i basically forgot about it, at that time i used fuji superia mostly.
Any tips for using Gold 400? it's nothing fancy, i just want to test the camera again and i'm gonna get it developed at the lab where i bought the film.
i found this online:
>As part of the design team for the first Kodacolor Gold 400 film, I suggest that you meter at 320 rather than 400. This gives a bit less grain and a bit better color. The film is a true 400, but this little trick will improve results, as it will for all consumer color negative films. Rate Portra films at their box speeds.
Gold has a contrast of about 0.63 to 0.65, a bit higher than the norm of 0.60 for the Portra films. This gives higher contrast in professional cameras, but "normal" contrast in the cheaper single use and consumer cameras due to lens flare
