Fujifilm X100VI Made in Japan Ships at Record Speed in the USA… and Instantly Sells Out

Just 12 days ago, we reported that B&H Photo had marked the Fujifilm X100VI as discontinued.

At the same time, a new listing for a “Made in Japan” Fujifilm X100VI appeared alongside the Made in China version.

B&H Photo claimed it would ship in 7–14 days, a timeline that seemed highly unlikely.

Well, it turns out our skepticism was misplaced.

Several FR-readers have now emailed me screenshots confirming that the Made in Japan X100VI is indeed shipping, just 12 days after being listed (you can see one of the screenshot above).

The bad news: it appears that all available stock sold out the same day we published our article. As of now, the “Made in Japan” X100VI listing at B&H Photo shows a “request assistance” status.

Interestingly they say all this made in Japan gear will be available in 7-14 days (X100VI included).

Catch the Fujifilm X-E5, Sigma 17-40mm F1.8 & More at B&H Bild Expo Tomorrow

The B&H Photo Bild Expo NYC is staring tomorrow, June 17 (ends June 18).

It is 100% confirmed that the Fujifilm X-E5 and XF23mmF2.8 will be for display at the Bild Expo and it will therefore be your first chance to go hands on with Fujifilm’s latest gear.

And I think you’ll also have the chance to play around with the new Fujifilm X half.

But since also Sigma sponsors the event, I am pretty confident that you’ll also be able to go hands on with the brand new Sigma 17-40mmF1.8 DC ART, since the lens will also be announced tomorrow, June 17 at 1AM New York time, so right before BH Bild Expo opens its doors.
