OM Systems announced that pre-orders of the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 150-400mm f/4.5 TC1.25x IS PRO lens are temporarily paused because of high demand (check Adorama and B&H Photo for the latest pre-order status). This is the third warning about the lens being in high demand (see this and this post). Here is the full text of the release:
We appreciate your continued support of OM SYSTEM products.
Demand continues to exceed supply for the M.Zuiko Digital ED 150-400mm F4.5 TC1.25x IS PRO lens. As we prioritize and accommodate customers who have already placed orders from our online store and through retail partners, we have therefore made the difficult decision to temporarily pause the acceptance of new orders in the Japanese market effective June 23, 2022 until further notice. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide an approximate delivery schedule to customers who place orders on or after June 23, 2022. We will provide additional details as soon
as an estimated delivery schedule is available. Customers who have already placed orders will receive the product as soon as it is available.This situation relates only to the Japan market and the acceptance new orders will be resumed
as soon as possible.As the M.Zuiko Digital ED 150-400mm F4.5 TC1.25x IS PRO lens is manufactured and assembled using advanced production and assembly technologies under strict quality control standards, the daily production volume is limited. Therefore, manufacturing is on a built-to-order basis. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We appreciate your patience and understanding and will provide additional updates as they become available. (Source)
