Just chatted with B&H. No ETA for Hasselblad X2D or 55mm. Disappointing. Anyone else get any updates on X2D or lenses as far as shipping to US?

I received both the 38mm and 55mm lenses on September 23 from B&H. Ordered on September 7. No ETA on the camera.

I ordered a 90 from BH and it's also nowhere to be seen, just like the X2D. Got my 38 like others last week.

Have had a lot of time to contemplate, and I just canceled my X2D order at B&H that I placed within hours of the launch announcement, so someone just moved up. Having more time to come back to reality, my primary photography is street/landscape and the idea of swapping out prime lenses on hiking trails and in harsh environments on the X2D isn't ideal. The GFX100S has a better stable of weather sealed zoom lenses which will reduce weight and keep me from having to change out lenses as much, so I just ordered it. Doesn't hurt that the body and two lenses equal the price of the Hasselblad either.

Still, I much prefer the ergonomics and UI of the X2D, and am hoping they add a few more lenses to their lineup. For now, I'll use my Leica M for everyday & street and the GFX100S for trekking through nature.

It was NOT easy clicking that cancel button on the order. Hopefully it means one of you just moved up a spot.

B&H will be closed for 15 days in October due to holidays and normal Saturday closings. For those of us who ordered from B&H, October delivery may be iffy.

Just checked my B&H account and my 55m lens is listed as "order in progress." Nothing on the X2D yet.

You sir, obviously, have more will power in your mouse clicking finger, than I have in my entire body.

I did the maths and the GFX100S three zoom kit (20-35, 45-100, 100-200) is at least half a kilo (a bit more than ) lighter than the X2D with at least three less lens changes. The bodies are nearly identical in size and weight. But until HB produce a couple more zooms......

Supply will eventually stabilise. HB have a bit of a hit on their hands and have been conservative on build quantities, so far. But eventually you'll be able to see and feel one before using that index finger in anger...

And my 90mm has gone from Sept delivery to *backordered* here in Oz. I'm pretty sure I was one of the very first to order here.

Very frustrating! The delay seems to be specific and isolated to certain countries or regions… perhaps I am reading the signals wrong but it could be related to a handful of shipments to countries or resellers. It feels like I could have gotten the camera had I ordered through a shop in a different country/location.

Nobody has the 90v, except maybe the beta testers.

Someone quoted Lloyd Chambers a while back saying he was expecting his camera to ship right about now.. anyone heard from him? I have no idea where to find his latest updates, and I refuse to pay his ridiculous prices to read his content..

Oz importer now lists next shipment of cameras Oct 30. Lenses a week or so before. No dates for the 90.

Yikes! I'm hoping Lloyd's timing is accurate for North America..

At least I've got the 907x & X1D2 so that I'm not sitting on lenses I can't use. The 55 should be here tomorrow.

Very odd, the way the lens availability is far exceeding the camera availability. It wouldn't surprise me at all if there's less than 15-20 X2D's in all of North America at the moment.

Likely less than 10 in Oz. All were pre sold. It looks like HB severely underestimated demand or were just super conservative. Not a big company and they won't want a lot of inventory floating around.

I would guess most are updating from the X1D and have glass to test before deciding to update. that'd make lenses a bit easier to find.

X2D has shipped from B&H.

I also heard from another dealer in NY that they received their shipments in, and received 5 cameras.

So seems like today is the day for the first "large" batch of cameras.

Sept 7, about 30 seconds after it went live on the B&H website. I was using time.gov in another browser window and was mashing F5 on the B&H window. Maybe 1-2 people snuck in before me, but I imagine I had to be within their first 5 pre-orders placed.
