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.

Thanks Dave, I've read them. I cannot imagine that there anything on the web relating to the X-T20, the 18-55/16-50, and the X100F that I have not read! I've been laboring over this decision for months and started out in a completely different mindset looking at the Nikon D5500, then discovered the world of mirrorless which I had heard of but paid little attention to. Then I shifted to Olympus, Sony and Panasonic mirrorless until I came up on Fuji's which was always a name I heard of but knew little about. The thing that sold me on the Fuji's is how great the jpegs look right out of the camera plus as an old 35mm camera enthusiast the dials on top are really attractive.
