Dan,
B&H has the lens listed as available on the 23rd Nov. So far, the Australian retailers have been telling me exactly the same time frame. I think Fujifilm is synchronising their release.

Ted's Camera and Digidirect have both said it is available end of Nov to early Dec, in line with B&H's indicated time. It was supposed to be first week of Nov but it is delayed.

Digidirect said the initial shipment to Australian retailers will be very small. I have already ordered mine.

Ted's has it listed for $999 (only after I told them such lens actually exist....) and Digidirect has it for $899.

Will let you know once I get mine! 😀 I am also really wanting one. I have been shooting landscapes with the 35 and wish for something wider for more sky :bang:

Good things come to those who wait I guess!

Just a quick update on what is happening for anyone who is eagerly awaiting the arrival of this lens. The status of this lens has changed from "Pending" to "Awaiting supplier delivery".

Thank you for your order! Due to the Fujifilm XF 14mm f/2.8 Lens being out of stock, our suppliers have indicated a minimum wait time of approximately 10-15 working days for stock availability. This is a common occurrence for high demand products and we are working closely together with our Australian wholesalers to secure your stock as soon as possible. Your patience is appreciated. For further information, please contact us on 1300 889 148 or email us sales@digidirect.com.au

Yodobashi Camera in Japan says "first half of December". They are usually quite right and one of the first to get new cameras. For example, the RX1 has been for sale there since the 16th (which they predicted).
