Sightron, the parent company of optics manufacturer Laowa, has announced that the Laowa 4mm F2. 8 Fisheye lens for Micro Four Thirds (MFT) camera systems has been postponed. In a very brief notice (translated) on its information page, Sightron says the lens, which was set to be released this coming Friday, has been delayed.
The machine-translated version of the notice reads ‘since there is a possibility that a problem individual was mixed, we decided to postpone the release. ’
Based on that translation, it seems as though a number of lenses had issues, but Laowa couldn’t pinpoint down exactly what lenses were affected and are therefore going back through and testing the units that have already been produced.
Sightron says ‘details regarding the release date will be announced as soon as they are determined. ’ It ends the post by thanking interested parties for their understanding and patronage.
