FUJIFILM Wonder Photo Shop in New York City Closed Permanently

FR-reader Paul (see his Instagram) has just received a sad email by Fujifilm, where Fuji announces the permanent closure of the FUJIFILM Wonder Photo Shop in New York City.

Thank you for your ongoing support of the FUJIFILM Wonder Photo Shop in New York City as we’ve all continued to adjust to this “new normal”. Unfortunately, we have some sad news to share with you, our valued Wonder Photo Shop customers. We have decided to close the New York City store permanently, effective September 9, 2020. This unprecedented time in our history has allowed us to re-evaluate the Wonder Photo Shop model and while our New York City store is closing, we will be introducing a new omni-channel shopping experience, led by e-commerce, that will begin to roll-out October 2020. From there we intend to bring a new in-store experience to the US market at some point in 2021.

Having personal opportunities to connect with our customers is very important to us, and FUJIFILM North America Corporation is developing initiatives to ensure that you will have seamless access to the products you know and trust. Additionally, our social media channels will remain active, so together we can continue to share the joy of photography. We’ll also be updating our social channels with the latest exciting developments on what we have planned next for you.

If you are a FUJIFILM Wonder Photo Shop customer with a current order in the store, please contact wonderphotoshop@fujifilm.com and we will work with you to fulfill your orders.

Thank you for your years of support and patronage of the FUJIFILM Wonder Photo Shop. Stay tuned for more information regarding our next consumer experience.

Sincerely,
The Wonder Photo Shop NYC staff

FUJIFILM Announces possible XF 50mmF1.0 Shipping Delay due to Demand Exceeding by Far Fuji’s Expectations

The Fujinon XF50mm f/1.0 is scheduled to be be released in September 24/25.

But now Fujifilm has issued an official press release, where they announce that demand is far stronger than they expected, and hence there is a possibility that there will be shipping-delays. Fujifilm writes:

The “Fujinon Lens XF50mm F1.0 R WR” announced on September 3, 2020 (Thursday) has received inquiries far exceeding our expectations, and we cannot deliver the product on the release date. There is a possibility.

We are currently working hard to meet the number of requests, and we appreciate your understanding.

Fujifilm is not a company that uses the “high demand” phrase too often. When they decide to inform us about high demand, then it’s usually also accurate.

I think last time they spoke about “high demand” it was for the Fujifilm GFX100, and we all know how that ended (biblical long waiting times and 50% higher demand that Fujifilm expected).

Here on FujiRumors, the brand new Fujinon XF50mmF1.0 enjoys one of the strongest XF lens pre-orders of all time, so at least our little FR-Universe seems to confirm Fuji’s statement.
