23mm f2 - on backorder from the pre-order?

[bjorke]

Beats me how anyone actually got one of these lenses, I was on pre-order from the day they announced it and now I'm told it will arrive November 23 -- so much for their claim of "late September."

Mine is on its way to me from Adorama. I'd have it already if I weren't so cheap with rapid delivery surcharges.

they claim it's backordered :/ hope you actually receive it!

It looked like they got some in stock but sold them out pretty quickly after filling pre-orders.

 

Not sure where you ordered from but for photography stuff it seems like Amazon and B&H get a huge amount of pre-orders and are more likely to have bigger backlogs but it probably depends on the product in question.

I've just visited the local shop and bought it. People start forgetting that it is possible to buy things just around the corner...

For those people lucky enough to have a store in their area that sells Fuji.

I think many of the smaller shops around the country also have an online shop!?

There is more than Amazon, B&H or Adorama where you can shop online.

I ordered mine 2 days prior to the official release date. The small retailer is aprox 200km away from me, but he has an online shop too.

It arrived on saturday.

I think that is a good point.

 

One thing I struggle with here in the US is that for whatever reason there are a lot of shady camera retailers out there.  Especially in the Northeast part of the country.  I am sure there is some historical reason for this but I don't know what it is.  Trying to order from a small shop you are not familiar with requires a decent amount of research to ensure they are legitimate.

No offense taken  

 

I am lucky to have such a shop near me but many don't.  Unfortunately, my local shop typically has a longer waiting list than the big national chains for pre-orders.

Fuji must be in scramble mode, I got a message saying the pre-orders would be filled next week, not the end of November

And, unless the box I just brought in is empty, mine had arrived from Adorama.

Just got mine delivered - or according to UPS it has been hidden in my porch. I believe I will leave work quite early today ...  Ordered from Amazon.de Wednesday night. They have still four in stock when this is written: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01KZ4XBA6/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I inadvisably linked mine in a Jessops finance agreement with an xpro2 and 35mm - so far I've been waiting for 10 weeks as they won't release the camera until the 23mm is available (sigh). If it's now a November release, that will be another 5 weeks to wait...:-(
