The old German Voigtlander company made a twin lens reflex with the name
Brilliant. I have one that I inherited from my uncle. The viewing lens
is used only for framing and always presents a focused image. It's been
a long time since I handled mine but there should be a focusing scale
somewhere to guess focus. There should be a little door on the side
which allows you to store a couple of filters.

Subject: [pure-silver] old twin lens camera focussing?
We found an old twin lens medium format camera in my partner's dad's
house in new orleans. The camera wasn't flooded so we brought it
home. we put a roll of film in it last night, but then we couldn't
figure out how to focus it. One of the lenses is stationary, but the
taking lens can move in and out. However, there is no indication on
the lens of what distance it is focussed at, and on the screen, you
only see through the non-taking lens.
Do you focus this camera by guessing?
It says "Brillant" on it, and it was made in Germany.
