Glitch in the BHphoto system reveals when your Batis lens lens preorder will ship…in 2099!

LOL! Destiny is making fun on the people who is patiently waiting since May(!) to get their Batis lens. For a couple of hours BHphoto changed the expected availability date to 2099! (Spotted at Reddit).
Fun aside there is some small good news to report. Early preorders from BHphoto and Adorama shipped last week according to multiple SAR readers. And there is one single lens in Stock now at [shoplink 40770 ebay]eBay US[/shoplink]. and at [shoplink 40769 ebay]eBay Germany[/shoplink].

Diglloyd tested the 85mm Batis and writes:

It’s really wonderful to have such quality in a small and light kit. The design choice of f/1.8 is absolutely fine (I would even have preferred f/2, just to nudge up the quality slightly and nudge down the size). Particularly for this type of shooting, I’ll take f/1.8 any day over the bulk and weight of f/1.4.
