Why this? I don’t know, but I suppose that Fuji is producing a lot of X-E1 and XF18-55, and now has to produce also the new X100s and X20. Maybe it’s simply too much right now and there could be another delivery delay. In Europe the 14mm lens should not be available before mid-end february.
B&H expected availability is still for January 31, see here.

Last information I heard through the local Fuji sales channels was that the first 14mm shipments would be leaving Japan on Jan 19th.
I’ll be happy to get my hands on one anytime in Feb =D have a nice holiday planned for early March which would suit the 14mm superbly.
Yes last I heard from Fuji via my camera dealer that it will be available early Feb (this is for Australia).
Unfortunately in my country the 18-55 is unavailable too. In fact all Fuji items become available about half year later than in other countries.
Sparing money and waiting……..
