I can confirm that shops have received and are shipping the GFX100, but B&H Photo is running a little behind. They received their cameras, but something is delaying shipment. From what I can gather cameras were shipped to stores a few days ago and most received them yesterday.

Fujifilm released GFX Story #1 to celebrate the launch of the Fujifilm GFX100 and in it, they double down on their large format claims by saying,
“To this day, there are still people that practice photography with the medium and the large format films. The main reason for this is the image quality. But in terms of resolution, the current 44 x 33mm format surpasses that of the 6 x 4.5 and even the 8 x 10. There still is the unique color reproduction of the silver halide films, but if the medium and the large format is designed for large prints, then there is no point in seeking historical ground to call what format GFX is. Because with the GFX100, we can have the prints even larger. “
but of course, the Fujifilm GFX100 is must faster and easier to work with than old medium format and large format cameras. There has never really been a camera quite like the GFX100 on the market before with smaller 35mm sensor cameras being limit and larger sensor camera being few and far between that Fujifilm thinks the naming conventions should change.
Fujifilm thinks that the launch of the GFX100 will be similar to the X-Pro2, where photographers finally noticed that Fujifilm could make a snappy usable camera in addition to providing great image quality. Personally, I think that time was more around the end of the Fujifilm X-T1’s lifetime because firmware updates improved the camera soo much, but this is their story so you can read their side of it here.
“To put simply, the GFX100 has the agility like the X-T3 and achieves the descriptive power like the 8×10. There have never been a system like this before. This is a whole new experience.”
To enjoy the GFX100’s performance leap you must update all of your lenses to their latest firmware 1.10.

I know some GFX photographers are interested in ALPA making products for Fujifilm GFX cameras, but up until now I think it has gone unnoticed that ALPHA has been pushing the a Novoflex G-Mount to BALPRO adapter that’s made for ALPHA for attaching a GFX to ALPA Bellows on their website. There are other adapters out there, but they seem to have partnered with Novoflex.
ALPA Adapter ring Fuji G-Mount
The adapter allows easy and safe mounting of a Fujifilm GFX body to an ALPA bellows unit or stacking solution. The V-Groove version also allows a comfortable adjustment of the alignment/rotation of the camera body.
Product remarks: ALPA Adapter ring Fuji G-Mount to BALPRO, for mounting Fujifilm GFX camera bodies on ALPA bellows / stacking solution
It’s time to catch up with more GFX100 coverage. Below you will find excerpts from the video located above:

The report of fraudulent Fujifilm film sounds malicious in nature because it contaminates your developer solution when you try to process your film. Hopefully, Fujifilm is able to put a stop to its sale.

Dear customers
Thank you for your continued patronage of our film products.
It has been found that “a 35mm film non-genuine product illegally using FUJIFILM logo” (see attached photo) packed with movie film (* 1) has been brought to a development handling shop in Japan . These are the fraudulent use of our logo, not the products we offer.
Please note that these products are packed with movie film inside the used 35mm patrone, and can not be developed with the normal color negative film development process (CN-16, C-41). If the photo shop develops, it may contaminate the developer and it may be necessary to change the solution and to clean the rack of the developing machine, which may lead to development failure of other customers’ films. In order to avoid these risks, the shop will refuse the development of non-genuine products.
We are not responsible for any problems caused by such non-regular films. In addition, we have already implemented this warning notice to developing film handling shops and processing facilities for general purpose films.
We look forward to your continued patronage of our products.
Example of “35mm film non-genuine product illegally using FUJIFILM logo” packed with movie film
Besides 250D in the attached photo, there may be different types such as 64D, 250T and 500T.
In this example, there is a display of “shooting” which means “movie” in Chinese. There is no description of “image” on our regular 35mm patrone type.
* 1 The Company’s cinematographic film has been shipped in March 2013.
Even in the film processing film processing office, we do not accept the development of “35mm film non-genuine products illegally using FUJIFILM logo” .
