Fujifilm X Half Status Changed to Back Ordered – Another Unobtainium Camera?

I checked my Fujifilm X Half preorder to see if there were any updates to the status, and it has changed to backordered, which is odd because the camera should ship tomorrow. I am still unsure if I want to keep my preorder, but it seems there were a ton of preorders on launch night. So far, only Amazon has closed orders for Silver and Charcoal, but it is still taking orders for Black, while other retailers are still taking orders for all three.

I hope my readers receive their preorders, and I will probably cancel so that one of you will get a camera a little earlier in favor of buying a camera later, like I did with my X100VI. Hopefully, the X Half isn’t another oversold Fujifilm camera that is impossible to obtain, because I do think it will bring some fun back to photography for a select few, but I have a feeling many experienced photographers will find the lack of RAW and other restrictions more annoying than liberating. Canceling my order wouldn’t even cross my mind if the Fujifilm X-Half shot a RAW file alongside JPEG film simulation for backup and reinterpritation.

Fujinon 23mm f/2.8 R WR: B&H Photo / Amazon / Moment / Adorama

FUJINON XF23mmF2.8 R WR
–A new 23mm focal length lens with high resolution and ultra-compact and lightweight at 90g is now available.
A high-performance, compact partner that you’ll want to take with you wherever you go.

FUJIFILM Corporation announces the launch of the “FUJINON Lens XF23mmF2.8 R WR” (XF23mmF2.8 R WR) as part of the “XF Lens” lineup for the X Series of mirrorless digital cameras, which are renowned for their compact and lightweight design and outstanding image quality delivered with Fujifilm’s proprietary color reproduction technology.

The XF23mmF2.8 R WR is an ultra-compact and lightweight lens with an easy-to-use focal length of 23mm (equivalent to 35mm in 35mm format), an overall length of only 23mm*1 and a weight of approximately 90g. While achieving high resolution performance compatible with the approximately 40.2 megapixel “X-Trans CMOS 5 HR” *2sensor, the ultra-compact size was achieved by using the latest lens processing technology to make the lens thinner and by slimming down the exterior and structural parts to the absolute minimum. The lens is versatile enough to handle standard, wide-angle, close-up, and various other types of photography with a single lens, while at the same time offering high operability and toughness, providing a high image quality photographic experience with ease in all situations, including snapshots, travel, portrait, landscape photography, and table photography. Its high portability and versatility make it a lens you will always want to carry with you.

1. Same size as XF27mmF2.8 R WR.
2. X-Trans is a registered trademark or trademark of Fujifilm Corporation.
