Sigma says they would like to make lenses for the Sony FE system. But 18-35mm A-mount gets another delay :(

In an Interview with Dpreview Sigma CEO Kazuto Yamaki have been asked: “Are you interested in creating lenses for Sony’s new Alpha 7 and 7R?”. The answer is:

As a major lens manufacturer we believe it’s our mission to support as many systems as possible but we have limited resources so we have to prioritize. But we’d like to.

I am sure they plan to make lenses for the FE system but as mentioned by CEO Yamaki their resources are very limited. And a proof of these limitations is that the 18-35mm f/1.8 A-mount lens (here at Amazon) got another shipment delay! Read that email from Sigma customer service:

Good morning,
Unfortunately this lens has been pushed back several times by our parent company. As of last week, we are expecting them to come in late March. However, that could possibly change again.
I’m sorry for the inconvenience. Have a great day!
Best regards,
