Throwback Edit Version: I edited this in August 2025, checked the links and converted it to the new WordPress blocks format if needed.

When was this camera produced? What can you tell me about it?

Nothing! I can find nothing on the net, only a few eBay listings. There is a little more for the Fujica geR, but not the plain GE. Why is that? Is this a rare camera? The only listing I did find was a tiny reference to it, saying it was produced in 1973.

I can tell you it takes the banned mercury battery PX640. I tried this camera with LR44 and some tinfoil to complete the connection. And to make matters worse, I have already sold the camera and cannot look at it to describe how it works. I do remember it had a zoned focus system.

The fact that I sold it so quickly meant that I didn’t see anything special about it to make me question keeping it.

Here is my only test roll.

It actually worked really well. I used it during a rare November snowfall, the first one in 50 years to hit this part of Japan.

I would recommend this camera if you find a good one, but I have so many that I didn’t feel this added anything to my collection.

Keep or sell: already sold
