16-35mm FE delayed, A7c coming in 4 months and Tamron and other gear is not in Stock…but there is hope according to this report!

The worldwide semiconductor production crisis is affecting everyone:

  • Two days ago OM Digital announced the new OM-1 will ship two months later than expected (Note: The OM-1 is made of a lot of Sony parts according to this 43rumors article).
  • Today Sony Japan announced the new 16-35mm FE will start to ship out in Summer only
  • Most of the current gear is back ordered or out of Stock: The Sony A7c will ship in 2-4 months only, the A7IV is out of Stock and the Tamron 35-150mm FE is not shipping out since months.

But there is hope! Counterpoint Research reports that “Semiconductor Shortage Likely to Ease Significantly in H2 2022 Despite China Lockdowns“. And in their text they write:

“Coupled with wafer production expansion and continuous supplier diversification, we have witnessed significant improvement in the component supply situation, at least in the first quarter,” observed Li. “The big risk factor moving forward is the lockdowns happening across China right now, especially in and around Shanghai. But if the government can manage the outbreak and help key ecosystem players turn the corner quickly, we believe the broader semiconductor shortage will ease around late Q3 or early Q4.”

If Counterpoint is…on point with their prediction we finally get back to normal by late 2022. Right in time for the A7rV, ZV and “surprise” camera launch!

Sony Japan issued this worrisome statement:

Notice and apology for postponement of release of “FE PZ 16-35mm F4 G (SELP1635G)” lens for digital single-lens camera α E mount

Thank you for your continued patronage of Sony products.

At the time of the press announcement on March 22, 2022 (Tuesday), the release date was set to “April 28, 2022 (Thursday)”. Digital single-lens camera α E mount lens “FE PZ 16-35mm” Regarding “F4 G”, we have decided to postpone the release due to the impact of global distribution delays. The new release date is scheduled for the summer of 2022, but we will announce it as soon as it is confirmed.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to customers who are looking forward to the release as it is just before the release. We will do our utmost to deliver the product as soon as possible, and we appreciate your understanding.

In the USA the lens will start shipping out on June 24 according to BHphoto. And in mid-end May according to EU stores like Calumet DE.
