So, i'm going to US for the first time, NTC to be more accurate.
I was planing to buy the x-t20 + 18-55 kit as soon as i get there. But i'ts on back order on adorama , B&H and even amazon!
Also..B&H will be closed through out my whole stay in NY! i'm so pissed! timming could not be worse. B&H was kind of a major attraction for me hehe..

Can you tell me of other thrust worthy shops in NY where i could look for it?

Thanks, 
Peter

Peter,

I know the feeling! I'm in NY not far from B&H and really wanted to try/buy some Fuji things in the next week or two, prior to a trip at month's end.

FWIW, I did the checking - and went into the store just yesterday to grab some small items before their long break - Oct 5 - 14th.  First thing (after seeing they still didn't have in stock my main want) - I started looking at alternatives. Beginning with Adorama. That's the main price/inventory competition. It's also closed the same exact period. So... camera tourism is really on hold in NYC. Though as the stores return, so will Photo Expo at the convention center, and though I've been told not to expect any surprise sales from Fuji, I'm still hoping for some discounts, if not on lenses, maybe B&H discounts on batteries, cards, etc.

Digging further into my memory banks (doing photography stuff for 40+ years, in NYC), I explored some of my long-time memory stores. Willoughby's is long-gone, w/47th St. etc.  What I found in stock locally AND online, among lenses and bodies, all grey market.

So, again, sorry, but it's that time of year to either join the fall celebrations (religious or back-to-school or whatever) and wait til the 15th for big photo purchases, or even better, plan for the 2nd half of October for a B&H pilgrimage. We've had a long summer (still 80's) and the season in Manhattan hasn't changed much yet. Second half of October the fall foliage should be in full display, to enjoy after your camera/photo purchases.  TMI?? Good luck! Maybe see you in a few weeks at B&H!! (I don't work for them, BTW!)   Ciao.

      TURN OFF CAMERA AND TURN ON AGAIN (!!!!)

      By CarltonC · Posted

      I had the same problem with the XF27mm f2.8. Found the below on a Reddit thread. "There is apparently a design flaw with this lens that causes it to get stuck sometimes when the camera is turned off at the closest focal distance (i.e. when the lens is fully extended.) The fix is to just push it back in manually (gently, of course.)" It fixed the problem straight away.

      NEW access Issue With CF Express Type B card on XH2s

      By dannycooke · Posted

      I just want to say thanks very much!  That worked a treat - did as said used ‘clean all’ command and then waiting a while for it to do its thing, once I put the card back into the camera and initialised then removed it and put it back onto the PC it worked and popped up as usual.  Somehow overtime all 3 of my cards must have become corrupted.  But doing this worked, again Many thanks  Here are the steps I took so that if anyone else runs into this issue they can fix it: 1.  Put express card into the reader and plug into pc (you should hear a sound, but the card will not mount).   2.  Run ‘Command Prompt’ as an administrator,  you can find it in Start Menu and right click then run as administrator.  3. type in ‘diskpart’ This will load the software, be careful here as you could accidentally format the wrong drive. 4.  when DISKPART> is displayed type ‘list disk’.   wait a while and a list of all disks on the system will appear, look for the disk that is the size, in my case it was 476GB.  double check this is the right disk as you will format and erase all content on this disk to make it work.  5.  type ‘select disk 3’  in my case disk number 3 was the right one. 6.  type ‘clean all’   it took mine about 15 mins to work, it looks like it is doing nothing but it isn’t, it’s doing a full format.  You will get a prompt ‘DiskPart succeeded in cleaning the disk’ 7.  Remove the disk and place back into fuji camera, then format/initialise as normal.  8.  eject disk and place back into PC and it should mount as usual.   Hopefully that works!

      NEW access Issue With CF Express Type B card on XH2s

      I haven't had any problem with my XH2s and CFexpress card, but I struggled for almost 1 year with a 256GB SD card . To cut it short : I finally solved the problem formatting the SD card using windows DiskPart command. I think the key was removing everyting from the SD card using the "clean" command. Diskpart is rather technical, I hope you can understand how to use it. Search google for :   "diskpart erase partitions" Hope this helps.

      NEW access Issue With CF Express Type B card on XH2s

      By dannycooke · Posted

      Hi,  i’ve had a look around the internet and can’t seem to find anyone with this issue.  Long story short is I used to be able to access my CF Express type B cards that are formatted by my XH2s on my pc and my mac.  They would pop up as an external drive through an external Sabrient reader.  Now they don’t?!  Has something changed in the firmware? something broken. A few observations: It now happens with all of my Sabrient cards. I bought a new Lexar reader and it does it with that too. If i format the cards on my RED camera and then mount on the computer they work fine as expected.  Once I put back in camera and format the card then place back to PC it doesn’t work. The only way i’ve been able to access the card is while it is plugged into the camera but this seems a lot slower to transfer data. Has anyone else noticed this? would appreciate any solutions.
