Oh no! Panasonic 12-35mm lens shipment delayed?
Panasonic US isn’t really famous for the punctual product delivery. But I hoped they would not repeat the mistake on the juts announced and very expensive 12-35mm X lens. My hopes are gone when 43rumors readers sent me that message from Amazon US:
“Due to a lack of availability, we will not be able to obtain the following item(s) from your order:
