Yup. Have 2. Both with TMax, 100 & 400. The quality if the various units I looked @ were all about the same. The difference I saw was mostly convenience. If you're concerned about cost, the shorter ones will provide for less leader loss. Of more concern is the quality of the cartridge you use. Some of the metal ones are for a dozen or so uses and then to be disposed. Apparently they aren't built for the friction and can scratch your film base. I use the plastic ones & have never had a problem. Just keep the light seal brushes clean. Collin
