Fuji delivered as promised on Feb 28th! Ace Photo in VA got the GFX 50s today and each with a 63mm lens but only two. I have been on their list since June of last year first for the Hasselblad X1D then when it was delayed 6 months I switched to the Fuji. What impressed me first was just how big and bright the EVF is and even compared to the Leica SL which I also have. First impressions are not always reliable but it is not a Leica SL or a Hasselblad X1D with respect to an elegant shape and feel. The GFX seemed a bit awkward to hold with the very wide base and the joy stick compared to what is on the SL, a bit small but definitely usable and great Fuji included in the design. Given I will use the GFX 99% of the time on a tripod, ergonomics is not a big issue for me. The other impression after 30 min pushing the many GFX buttons to see what they all do as this is my first Fuji was the easy of use and logical menu system being intuitive and very responsive; more to come after I have a few days with the Fuji.
Oh, the guys at Ace are great if you need anything photographic and they also got an X1D yesterday that was on the shelf so I assume available.
