Good news!! I just got a shipment notification from Adorama. They are providing free overnight shipping with the order so I should have it tomorrow. Hopefully they won't come in the AM. I have a ...

On the plus side it kept me from ordering the new Fuji 33 1.4.  I really needed that since i have the 35 1.4 and 35 2.0.................. :-)

I just checked on the Adorama site, my order is officially showing "Back Ordered" so it looks like it will at best be my Christmas gift to myself.  :-)

That's what I am wondering too. The Ricoh USA site implies they will start shipping soon. I had signed up to be notified when it would be available. I got an email from them on Oct. 12 stating ...

Exactly.  Here in the US the III is still selling for the same price it was released at.  It's like waiting for a price drop on the X100 or X Pro series.  Probably not going to happen.  In theory ...

I thought about ordering the teleconverter. But then I thought that may slow down getting the actual camera. I am interested in it though. I'm not as concerned about the crop on it. I still shoot ...

I ordered it from Adorama because I had $150+ in bonus points. It pays for the tax... Anyway the Adorama site is saying the same thing: "Manufacturer will start shipping this item on 10/15/2021. ...

I know some people are ordering them from Japan.  I wouldn't do that for warranty reasons.  I was very excited about getting the camera.  Oh well.  It will have to wait until it's available which ...

When I was told by someone at a major national camera retailer that it could be December before it would be available in the US.

These are really nice!!!!

I asked B&H yesterday and they didn't have an answer.  The person I spoke with implied that it might be December before you could order it.

It must be, because you could do it on the II version.  I actually shot that mostly at 4:3.  I like that aspect ratio and print at 12 X 16 a lot.  It's better to see it on the screen than to guess ...

I haven't installed it yet, but I completely agree.  I personally like the 4:3 ratio.  It would be better if you could shoot that instead of just editing a Jpeg with it.

I had some communication with the MaxMax people.  They were very helpful.  In the end I decided to go with a Leica Q2M.  In all honesty as person who shot B/W film for years (I'm 61), there is a ...

Ricoh GR III, Lecia Q2M, and Sigma SD1 Merrill. There isn't enough difference between Fuji's APSC and a full frame to justify having two different systems. The Leica is a specialty camera. I still ...

I have a Sigma SD1 M that I use frequently.

I got the Square Hood one.  It keep moving around.  It's held in place by a couple of small screws.  It looks nice but I ended up just putting it in a drawer.  Now I don't use a hood.  If I was ...

They added Classic Negative to the GFX 50R.  I will assume they added to the 50S also.

I just sold a bunch of film and digital stuff and bought a Q2M. It's worth what they are asking for it. The build quality is amazing. You really can't compare it to any other camera in terms of ...

X100V.  In fairness, I do have a GFX 50R and a GR III.  But if I could only have one camera besides the X Pro 3 it would be the X100V.  I use them the most in this order X Pro 3, X 100V, GR III, ...
