Updated Fujifilm Gear 2021 In Stock Check – Fujifilm GFX100S Soon at Amazon and X-E4 Available Now at BHphoto

Here is an updated in stock check for the gear Fujifilm announced in North America.

GFX100S

Adorama and Moment had a few samples in stock, but as to expect, they run out quickly. The next one to possibly have a few available should be Amazon, who expects stock by October 20 here.

GF80mmF1.7

It’s available at AmazonUS here, at BHphoto here and at Moment here. Not available at Adorama and Focuscamera.

GFX50SII

It was originally planed to ship by the end of September, but Fujifilm issued an official delivery delay notice for the GFX50SII with GF35-70 kit, so let’s see how this will change things.

So far all stores expect the body only version as well as the kit version to be available on October 21.

GF35-70mmF4.5-5.6

So far stores expect it to ship on November 30. Only Adorama is slightly more optimistic and gives us November 20 as shipping start.

X-E4

Currently available only at BHphoto here (black version).

XF70-300mmF4-5.6

It is back-ordered everywhere. The only time indications we get comes from Moment here, who expects to deliver by November 4.

XF27mmF2.8 R WR

Fujifilm announced it. But they can’t deliver. I consider myself lucky to be able to have grabbed one a few months ago, last sample in stock. Since then, nothing. Whoever ordered one, better be armed with lots patience. A patience that will be rewarded, as it is the perfect lens ;).

X-T30II

It is expected to ship on October 21. Adorama is more pessimistic and expects to deliver in January 2022.

XF 33mmF1.4 R LM WR

It was supposed to start shipping on September 29, but pre-orders are very high and forced Fujifilm to issue an official delivery delay notice. Now it is expected to ship on October 21 in North America. Oddly enough, in Europe it is shipping and in stock.

XF 23mmF1.4 R LM WR

It is expected to ship on November 30.

XF18mmF1.4 R LM WR

Good News. This one is in stock everywhere!
