No I'm like you. Ordered from B&H and waiting.

Good thing though. About 15 years or so ago I bought a Canon 100-400. I just traded it in to B&H which cut the price of the T20 kit in half. Feeling really good because that lens performed well for years but lately it has been gathering dust.

Nice! A wait buddy. How long ago did you order/been waiting?

I ordered on April 5, right before they went on holiday. They reopen April 19th so I'm hoping they get a shipment in while they are on break. In the meanwhile, I'm looking for a deal on a used 23/1.4 and a 55-200mm.

That's a pretty long wait. You'll get yours long before I get mine unless they get a large shipment. I'm going to really try hard to limit myself to the X-T20 with the 16-50 for as long as possible....

True, but I have ordered from B&H for almost 20 years and they are an outstanding company. I have found it is usually worth the wait. I don't mind the wait in this case as the purchase is tied with the sale of that old lens.

Me too - I love B&H. I'm a native now-former Noo Yawker and I used to buy lots of stuff right at B&H.

Very cool. I plan to visit next time I'm there. My dad grew up there and we still have relatives there.

If you want some reading. Here are a few reviews that helped me to decide on the 16-50mm mark 2.
