Here is the full text of the release (Google translation):
Thank you very much for your continued patronage of Tamron products.
With the new product "28-75 mm F / 2.8 Di III RXD (Model A 036)" planned to be launched on Thursday, May 24, 2018, we received a reservation that greatly exceeds our expectations , It is predicted that the number of production will not catch up with your request.
We sincerely apologize for any inconveniences to our stakeholders, including customers waiting for product release.
There is a possibility that delivery to some customers who have already made reservations will be after the release date. In addition, because customers will be delivered sequentially for future customers as well, time may be received before delivery of goods.
We will do our utmost to make it possible to deliver it as soon as possible so we appreciate your understanding.
