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."

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.

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.

 

 

 

I see. Sorry about it )

 

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.

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...:-(

      Anyone out there have any experience/feedback on the Laowa 55 mm tilt shift? I’d be using it on the GFX 50s ii.

      gimbals (& threads getting spammed)

      By jshire · Posted

      Hi, I'm researching a gimbal to get someone as a present & they use a Fuji XS-10. I did a quick search of previous threads on gimbals but all of them seem to either get no replies or spammed by a link to an Amazon list. I'd appreciate any comments from folks who've actually used specific gimbals with the XS-10. I'm aware that some, such as certain models from Zhiyun, DJI & FeiyuTech either don't say that they are fully compatible with the XS-10 but other sites say they do work ok but some functions don't. It's quite difficult to work out which functions work & which don't. Thanks.

      A portrait with a 28mm lens

      By DavidJohn · Posted

      This was snapped during a lunch.  Total shooting time—a few seconds. We so often read that a proper "portrait" should be snapped with a longer than normal lens, a low ISO to get lots of detail, and have a soft light held up above the head, and slightly to the side. The key, in my opinion, is always carry a camera.  Have your camera available to capture candid, authentic photographs.  Available light, no posing.   This portrait used 2000 ISO, the lens wide open at f4, and 1/100 sec. to stop any movement.  I didn't even take time to compose—I just snapped.  I leave the "Face Detection" on unless I'm photographing a landscape or subject other than a person. The GFX100RF has the equivalent of a 28mm lens.  The large sensor renders fine detail even at fairly high ISO ratings.  And the drawing of the lens is just perfect in my opinion.  It was set to B & W, with slightly reduced sharpness and clarity (set in-camera).  Ideal for "portraits."  Now, for some subjects I will likely increase the sharpness and clarity to the normal setting.  The camera is new, and I'm still experimenting with it.
