Just to follow up, it’s now been six months and still no sign of it. And it was paid for up front, which at this point seems very unfair to the purchaser.

Yeah, that's not good... 6 months seems too long even with supply chain issues. Where are you located and does this store typically get a lot of Fuji gear?

A few days ago I got an Email from B&H that they were in stock. I was put on the notify list in June. Of course I picked one up from Amazon.com in early August. Of course I just checked B&H and they are out of stock again.

That's what I'm afraid of he's either on a very popular list or in a country that is a tiny market.

When the 50 f2 was released, I tried B&H. They didn’t have it in stock. I asked for a notice when it was in stock. I got an Email about a month later.  I called when I picked up the Email a few hours after the time on the Email and the had already sold out! About a month later I got another Email alert that they had stock. I called and tried to order it in black. They were out of black which is why mine is silver since they hat two silver models left.

After that point I started checking Amazon.com for lens orders. My last three lenses were out at B&H but I found them at Amazon. I would rather buy camera equipment at B&H but I think Amazon swings a bigger hammer when it comes to getting stock.
