Cameraland has (again!!) some great Fujinon lenses in offer. As usual, they say that “we had an in store event and these were opened, shown to customers and put back in the original boxes. Because of this we won’t sell them as new, yet they can pass for it“… why does my local store never have such events ;-)? So, if you are located in USA, here is what you can save:

– $150 on the XF 56mm f/1.2 (sold for $849 & 10 left) -[shoplink 27918 ebay]check the deal here[/shoplink] – $130 on the XF 18-135mm WR (sold for $769 & 2 left) -[shoplink 27920 ebay]check the deal here[/shoplink] – $100 on the XF 23mm f/1.4 (sold for $799 & 7 left) -[shoplink 27921 ebay]check the deal here[/shoplink] (deal available also in other stores)

XF 16mm f/1.4 + XF 16-55 f/2.8 WR

Not only Adorama is the first store to have the XF 50-140 f/2.8 WR already avaialble for pre-order at $1,599, unveiling all the specs even before the official announcement, they are now also the first store listing the Fujifilm XF 16 f/1.4 and the XF 16-55 f/2.8 WR lens (there is a typo at Adorama, as it is the 16-55 WR, and not 18-55 WR).

But, unlike the 50-140, this time Adorama didn’t leak neither the price nor the specs. Adorama says that both lenses will be available in 2015.

Check out the Fujifilm XF 16 f/1.4 here and the XF 16-55 f/2.8 WR lens here.

Oh, and dear Fuji, you can decide, DOA or OIS. The poll is pretty clear! We want an 16-55 with OIS (as shown also at Adorama).

Adorama is ALREADY taking pre-orders on the XF 50-140 f/2.8 WR for $1,599.
ALL THE SPECS & pre-order here

On the same day, when the Fujifilm X30 was launched, I wrote a post about how low the pre-orders on the X30 were. My consideration was based on the AmazonUS P&S ranking, the biggest online retailer on the world, which showed the X30 at the 71th position of the ranking… but just for short time, as it was quickly kicked out of the first 100 top position.

Now, I consider the first day ranking on AmazonUS like the first polls on election days… for sure not the final result, but a pretty reliable indication about how people react to a new product.

Of course I could be wrong. Maybe people are just waiting to see what will come at photokina before pre-ordering anything. Maybe AmazonUS isn’t a good indicator for good or bad sales. Everything is possible, but based on my experience, what sells good on world’s largest online retailer AmazonUS, will very likely sell good also elsewhere. But I’m ready to post apologize if I’m wrong… but I’m afraid I’m not! And one of the reasons for the slow start is for sure the price. Customers perceive the $599 price tag as too high.

Now , in UK there is already the first deal on the Fujifilm X30, and it’s the following: buy the Fujifilm X30 and get a free leather case worth £70! You can find the free leather case deal in UK at wexphotographic here and also at cameraworldUK and AmazonUK. [NOTE: some readers told me that also the deal at wex and AmazonUK startet with the launch of the Fuji X30]

In Canada, X30 pre-orders have always included an extra bonus battery and charger at Vistek and Broadway Cameras.

But hey, they told me that it’s not important how the story starts, but how it ends. So good luck, Fujifilm X30!

PRE-ORDERS: USA:  BHphoto / Adorama / AmazonUS / BestBuy / EUROPE: wexUK / wexDE / PCHstore
