Hi Sam,
With my old EOS 1000 FN (Rebel SII) camera, there is an indicator on the
top LCD panel which shows if there is a cartridge in the film chamber.
If there are also numbers on the frame counter, it means there is film
wound on the spool (and the back is not safe to open).
If there are no numbers on the frame counter, it means the film has
rewound into the 135 cartridge and the back is safe to open.
I'm have ordered and am (still) waiting for my Elan 7E Date. Does
your Elan 7 have a Film Status Indicator?

Would the dispaly be clearer than the SMOKED BLACK window?
Cheers
