I have found that when I use bulk loaded film, my ZX-10's labor a little
more. The PZ-1p works just fine. Two things that can help. 1) only load
24 exposures. 2) metal cartridges instead of plastic. When I do both of
these things, the ZX-10's seem to do alright. Overall, I don't think the ZX
series film transport is very strong, especially compared to the PZ-1p.
