Well, I have the same on order.
+ that I did get a pre-owned 110mm/F2 for a good price.
Now I am looking for a 23mm/F4, but cheap it aint!
I did try to instill the notion on the salesman that he had a moral obligation to make me the first owner of this camera in Sweden.
We will se how well that works
Shipping last week of November - first week of December, maybe..

Capture Integration, a highly trusted dealer, is running their annual demo inventory sale. They appear to have a Fuji 23mm lens available (scroll down to page 4):

I'm not familiar with pricing on the Fuji MF products, but this may be worth a look (as are the the other goodies they have listed for sale)...
Good luck!

Not specific to KE or Holland: all dealers (EU/NA) run the same Fujifilm G cashback deals.

The diagonal of the sensor is about 54.8mm.
That means that you need a vinjeting free image circle of this diameter.
In real it means a wider circle
The Canon 24mm TS-E first version has an image circle about 58mm
And the second version about 66.5mm.
So I Think it is the second version that gives you the best usability in terms of shift and tilt.
But not for free..
I find prices of this lens starts around half the price of the 23mm/F4 to abowe its price.
No autofocus, but at this focal lenght maybe not so important.
But you get shift for a wider aspect ration, so that is a +
But no WR.
Do not know which lens is the sharpest, suspect the 23mm/F4
Interesting to test the Canon lens, just need the camera first

Ray: over on Fred Miranda, there is a great comparison thread comparing the Canon TS 24mm and Fuji 23mm here:

Speaking as a Leica fanboy par excellence <embarassed face> Matt - I agree with your view on the 23MM and put my money where my mouth is too!....23/32-63 and 110 is my kit with a GFX - seriously affordable option for those who can use the 50 and soon 100MP - the lenses are typical Fuji excellence - highly recommended!! Light enough for my main interest in shooting - happy snaps/street /doco and portrait work. NOT as pretty as the XID - but after a lot of testing, prefer focal plane shutter and Fuji lens ecosystem.
Cheers

Assume you got the bag since all your Fuji gear fits nicely in it.
I had the opportunity to put the 50R through basic operational tasks and performance last Saturday and came away quite impressed. The rangefinder style fit in with my preferences for basic control of aperture, shutter speed, ISO etc. with analog style dial interface. The body itself was a bit longer in horizontal length than I might have preferred but wasn't cumbersome.
The one area which has received concern was the size of the grip. It was extremely narrow/shallow and didn't allow for a firm grip. This was especially so with the mid range zoom attached, which resulted in a bit of front heaviness and thus not optimally balanced. It's been suggested through reps, that an optional deeper grip will eventually become available.
Otherwise the EVF viewfinder, focusing speed and locking onto subjects as well as other performance characteristics was basically on par with the Fuji 50 GFX.
All in all an exceptionally attractive package.

Thanks Dave (D&A). I still have filed away on my computer the comprehensive and thorough listing and individual review of every Pentax 645 lens that existed at the time. It became my "bible" regarding Pentax optics. Thanks for your insights on the 50R. I still have five 645 (MF) lenses that I will try out on the 50R When it gets here.
Best regards

Your 35 and 55mm 645 lenses will be outstanding - less ‘clinical’ than Fuji, and close to full-frame 35mm choice of 28 and 50. 45 OK but not as sharp.
