OK so this is going to be a bit embarrassing.. I've just picked up a cheap Brillant. From googling, it looks like a much later model than I have seen elsewhere, with a bakelite body, 1/175 top speed and Vaskar 1:4.5 / 75mm lens, non coupled focussing. The thing is, I have never run a roll of 120 film through a camera before and this one seems to have some in it - an 'x' in the red window - is that the end of the film? The counter on the side, before I accidentally reset it, was reading six shots. I assume that is half way through a roll but the only winder on the side turns fairly freely. Should I open the back in a bag and see if there is a film in there? Sorry. Still on 101 with this stuff...
