IF you don't do it in the dark then the last shot on every roll you
think "that was a great shot I've got to do that on the next roll to
make sure I've got it."
It makes for a lot of extra shooting.
And you've got to get your act together in finding a source of cassettes
at the right price because they only last so long. I'd put mine though
about 8 times I think. And every month or so you'll shoot a really good
roll but with a scratch which goes down the whole thing. 
Or use those expensive heavy felt less Leica ones in which you've got to
replace your bottom plate with an older one. Less scratchers with those
I'd think.
Do Rapidwinders work with those?
