Michael Reichmann from Luminous Landscape has passed away

A bad news struck the photography community. Nick Devlin from Luminous Landscape just posted this:

It is with a very heavy heart that I must share sad news with our readers and the rest of the photographic community.  After an extended battle with cancer, the Founder of Luminous-Landscape, Michael Reichmann, has passed away.  He was surrounded by family and friends over the last few weeks.  He put up a valiant fight.  He passed late on May 18th at age 71.
I considered Michael to be a dear friend, as did many of you. I traveled and photographed with him to many corners of the globe.  His passion for photography was matched only by his love of sharing that passion with readers around the world.

My condolences to all the LL team and Michael Reichmann’s family. He was a great man.

What’s going on with those “missing” lenses: 24-70mm GM, 70-200mm GM and Batis 18mm

Batis18mm

Many readers may have noticed that three of the new lenses are not in Stock or not even available for preorder. So here is the situation:

  1. Sony 24-70mm GM lens:
    As reported by Sony a month ago the lens got an unexpected high demand on preorders. But Sony did not specify when the lens will be shipped in larger quantity.
    Currently only some [shoplink 47915 ebay]UK-Asian eBay sellers (Click here)[/shoplink] and Digitalrev (1-2 weeks shipment) do have the lens in Stock. The German store Calumetphoto says it will take 1-3months(!) to get the lens. In USA Amazon, B&H, Adorama share no info at all about the possible shipment date.
  2. Sony 70-200mm GM lens:
    Sony said the lens would “be available in May”. But it’s easy to guess now that this won’t happen. Sony did not share any official info about the price and new shipment date of the lens yet. But it’s easy to guess that Sony wants to first deliver the 24-70mm GM lens preorders before to start taking orders on the tele zoom.
  3. Batis 18mm:
    As usual with new Zeiss lenses it’s hard to find their new E-mount lenses in Stock. Some EU and Asian stored do have a few of copies in Stock on [shoplink 47045 ebay]eBay (Click here)[/shoplink] . It’s unclear when US stores like Amazon and BHphoto will ship them.
