Seems B&H is running a special where you can get any Fuji lens or lens combo for free when you but an X-T2 body. Want the 50-140? 100-400? Either of those with one of the TC's? Hell how about BOTH with the 50-140 and 100-400 combo??? No problem just pick any option you want!!!

LOL, so I'm sure B&H really won't give you $3500 worth of lenses for free when you buy a $1600 camera. Just found it funny and I have no doubt they will correct their mistake soon enough.

Hell I do want an X-T2, so getting a free 50-140 and 100-400 with it would be quite amazing. Half tempted to order just to see how quickly the order gets canceled by them.  :p

Bodies are out of stock now anyway; craziness, though. Be curious to hear whether deal was honored or not

Body was in stock last night. Maybe I should have given it a try last night, at least then the body was in stock....:-D

Yeah it was down by the time I checked back this morning.

Figured it would be that's why I did the screen shots last night. Wonder who got chewed out when that mistake was found.

They will cancel the orders or modify them to take the lens out.
Isnt there any law that'll require them to honor their accepted orders? Physical stores have to do it, why not them?

In most places there isn't actually any law that requires them to honor it in physical stores, either. A lot of them DO, when the writeoff for it isn't horrible, just to avoid a ruckus; but in a case like this where it was possible that they'd be losing double the amount of the order with every purchase, no way.

B&H is surprisingly good. I have not heard of shifty behavior.

I called once because a lens was significantly underpriced. There were two versions and it was priced as the $500 cheaper version. The sales guy said "looks like someone made a mistake. You want it?" The lens was perfect and included more than what was described. It was really just like a new lens.

They are a big business and are very serious about their reputation. I have a local store which favor, but if they can't help me, I feel confident with B&H.

If the order went through, I expect they would honor it.

In some other forums people were saying that they started modifying the orders already. So no one is getting a free lens.

I had no doubt they would take the lenses off the orders or just cancel the order outright. Like others have said, nothing illegal about it. Most store will honor their mistake as long as it's reasonable to do so. I think getting a few grand in free lenses might be considered unreasonable.

Though I would be kicking my self for not trying to order if people did start getting free lenses!!!

Wow, amazing. I'd love to know if it was just a limited offer, and if anyone got in on it.
I might have gone for it just to get the lenses, and sell the body :)
