X-t20 18-55 kit sold out almost everywhere?

[Peterguim]

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,

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.
