The B and H site lists the 17th as the expected availability. Should start shipping after that.I'm on the lookout to grab these. Please post if your getting shipping notices.
They still show the 17th for the 25mm; just the 85mm shows the 23rd.sorry to report: B&H have changed "expected availability" from July 17 to July 23
Congratulations. Hope you'll share some of your tests. As far as I can see, nobody has really checked out the distortion issue yet, or done any testing of the corners stopped down.Got a 85mm coming in the morning.
YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
See what i can do , I'm actually in New York on a gig for 2 weeks.Congratulations. Hope you'll share some of your tests. As far as I can see, nobody has really checked out the distortion issue yet, or done any testing of the corners stopped down.
My dealer got them for me. Apparently the dealers have not yet received the 'regular' supply but they have received 'demo' models which are brand new, unopened, unused but the warranty card and manual are not provided for 5 months to the dealer. I have a special relationship with my dealer and was the first on his list. So he offered me the demo units and the manuals will be sent to me a few months later. Since the items are in truth brand new, I had no problems accepting them. I've been buying from him for 8 yrs now and get all my gear from him, so we have a very good relationship.Who is shipping? B&H is not being clear on availability.
Totally understand. The intimate dealer relationships are the best!My dealer got them for me.

For preferred customers, "YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" is shipping.Who is shipping? B&H is not being clear on availability.
I think that's based on if you preordered today. I think the initial orders/shipment may come prior to that. I could be wrong but it seems odd that the small pro camera shops would get all the Batis order prior to B&H and Amazon. They may have to fulfill preorders first and then show available stock afterwards outside the allocation for the storefront.I just looked at the B&H site, and now it says the Batis 85 is expected to be available in "mid-August." Maybe the first group was just a few.....?
