I used to have one. After some time, I sold it - I had just got better at estimating distances and didn't need it any more.
To estimate a distance I think whether I would reach the subject if I laid down on the ground. I'm just under 5 ft 11in so near enough to 6 feet.
Beyond that distance...
You should get 18 * 36 exposure rolls from a 100 foot roll.
You can buy reloadable cassettes like these:
or you can use cassettes that have been previously loaded commercially and still have a bit of film left sticking out. This is a bit more fiddly because you need to tape two pieces of film...

Does Silbersalz film still have the remjet on ? The artefacts look as if they may be caused by less-than-perfect removal of the remjet. I experienced this problem myself when developing Vision 3 films and removing the remjet myself.
