Yes. I have 2 and like them better than the others mentioned.

I have, I like it. I like square form factor. It is new and i like that. It fit better on any luggage.
Minimum film waste as the leader can be as small as 5 mm. Depending of your skill the end can be also small.

Also sold under the Hansa and Konica brands. Great loaders, I've been using them for years.

I like my Bobinquick, but it's the only loader I've used, so I can't really compare.

I have a Watson 100 that was barely used. Got it back in the early 80's when I was still doing 35mm film. If anyone wants to buy it cheap, it's for sale. The thing is that it's loaded with a partial bulk role of Kodalith film that was put in the loader in 1983 and has been in it ever since. It's also been sitting in my darkroom in the Garage that gets up to 100 degrees in the summer time, so who knows what the film is like. The loader still looks good and I have the original instructions with it also.

I'm curious - do you load film into the camera in the darkroom? Else, it's more or less guaranteed that you lose nearly 1.5 frame isnt it? Especially on manual cameras. (more for the Leica type loading perhaps?)

Yes, when i was young.
Now i have 900 meter of colour negative film and a pile of Nikon F4 so is useless.
