Optekas new E-mount lens launch delayed because of “tollerance” issues

Opteka recently announced five new manual focusing APS-C E-mount lenses with a similar (or the same) optical design of the current Meike E-mount lenses. But the launch just got delayed:

In order to overcome the mount variations between the A6000 and earlier, A6300, and A6500, the release date of Sony E-mount versions may be delayed. Either two mount versions of each lens will be made, or one version that splits the 1/100th of a millimeter difference between the mounts. The latter scenario will require testing to ensure that each lens remains within tolerance across the Sony E-Mount line. The former will delay the release of the Sony A6300/6500 version only.
Regardless, all of our new mirrorless lenses will come with a five year U.S. warranty.

Chuck:Yesterday (9/16/17) I photographed my first Division 1 College Football Game at West Virginia University. The attached photo is WVU WR # 2 Ka’Raun White catching a 28 yd TD Pass from QB Will Grier at 10:45 in the 2nd Qtr.  
My camera settings: 1/2500s, f/5.6, 100mm, ISO 500
I shot the entire game with my Sony A9 and the 100-400 G Master Lens.  I also used the 24-70 GM and the 12-24 G lenses to capture other environmental elements in order to tell the whole story of the day.
It was an awesome experience!
