>>3167368Yes yes and yes (absentmindedly opened a shitty Vilia once only to see a roll of film without a casette hooked onto the takeup spool)
The bottom line is the casette versions which cost a bit more were 100% reusable and this way every new casetteless film was cheaper than it would've been otherwise. Everyone saves money at the cost of having to reload them, which photolabs did for free anyway.
