Fuji GA645: 15 or 16 exposures?

[kenneth_kao]

Hi,

 

I recently bought a Fuji GA645 rangefinder, and it seems to only take

15 exposures. I've run a roll of color negative and black and white

negative through, and for both it stops at 15. I've seen in the forum

that this camera normally does 16 exposures. The information booklet

that I got from Fuji says the same. I got the camera overseas, so

could it be that the foreign models are different? I also don't have

the manual, so would there be something I can do to correct this?

Would film loading have anything to do with it? Any help you could

provide would be greatly appreciated!

I got 16 on mine, so I'm not sure what is happening with yours that you only get 15.

Hi,

I have one GA645 with only takes 15 exposures. I think it depends on how old the camera is. My GA645 has s/n 6021097.

I don't think they added the 16 exp until they came out with the GA645W with the 45mm lens. I don't have any idea what the cut off on the serial # is but I would not get that upset over it. The date code for the brochure that I have that shows the "New GA 645W" is 1996, at that time both the standard GA with the 60 and the 645W are said to have 16 exp. Before that the GA just had the 15 exp.
