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.
