Has anyone else placed an order for the new version of Fuji’s 27mm pancake that’s been on backorder for months?

Someone ordered this as a (very thoughtful!) gift for me over 4 months ago from B&H and still no sign of it. I know Fuji put out an advisory awhile ago that some cameras and lenses were delayed because of missing components (I’m assuming supply chain issues related to COVID?) but nothing that included the 27.

Anyone have any info?

Try Amazon.  I tied B&H back in May or so.  It had not appeared by the first of Aug.  I cancelled the B&H order.  It showed out of stock on Amazon but I ordered anyway, knowing I could cancel.  About a week afterwards, I get an email from Amazon that it was in and my copy was on its way.  It arrived in a couple days.  So my suspicion is because of supply chain issues, this lens is dribbling off the line and B&H is not that high on the priority list compared to Amazon.  So getting in line at Amazon paid off for me.
