Bad news: The Panasonic 25mm $99 deal will not be honored by BH.

Back in December Panasonic launched a great deal on the 25mm f/1.7 lens which was on sale for $99 only. The preorders were very high and shipment were expected to be fulfilled by March. But well we got bad news for you today: All those $99 preorders were canceled by BH:

“I am sorry to hear about this situation. Regrettably, Panasonic is not continuing production of this item at this time and we have no way to fulfill any of the backorders which is why it was cancelled.”

Damn it :(

And also Adorama (Click here) says the lens is no longer available:
