Hello all Zuiko lovers.

I recently acquired a beautiful Olympus Six III B (MIOJ) dating from
1950. The lens on this camera is a Zuiko 75mm/f2.8.
I would like to have a closer look inside the camer but...
unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) there is a film in it at present.
The little frame number window shows number 3 (4.5x6) and 4 (6x6) of a
Tmax (?) film.
I do not know this film, but I have the idea that it must have gone in
recently, being one of the newer types. I don't even know what
sensitivity it has got.

I would like to use the film for testing now it is in the camera. The
seller told me that he hasn't opened the camera since he got it from
the last owner a few months back, so he can't help me either.
I don't even know if the 4x5 framing mask is inside the camera....

Maybe someone could help me and tell me what type of film it is I am
having in my old camera now. It would be a great help for metering the
9 remaining frames...

Thanks, Frank.
