Semi In-Stock Alert: Fuji X-T2 body only for $1600
We have just updated the Stock Status Tracker and we have some semi-good news, the Fuji X-T2 body only is semi in-stock. Let me explain. The camera shows as in-stock at the B&H Photo website but because they are closed for religious holidays, it will ship October 26 in 2016. The trade-off is whether you want to wait for a couple of weeks for it to arrive versus waiting to find it available right away.
