Of course, I have used one. I forced myself to use one for six months before refitting the intended and original spool. My comments were not based on my experience alone. Speak to the camera dealers of the era, to hear THEIR complaints about the kit and why very, very few of these kits were ever sold. Leica also admitted this, and dropped the kit from their catalog as soon as the original production was exhausted. Check with most of the larger used Leica dealers in the US -- almost all of them have these Never-Loard Kits available, new-in-box. Yet, it is a rare find to come across one which has actually been USED. The word went out rapidly in the Leica community that the orignial system was preferable, and so Leica owners just voted with their pocketbooks and avoided the bloody things.
