Preorders: 90mm at BHphoto, Amazon US&EU, Adorama, FotoErhardt, Fotokoch, WexUK.

A couple of store owners told me they got the first batch of the new 90mm lens. But they cannot deliver them to their clients until the official shipment start date mentioned by OM Digital.

The image below shows a batch of lenses at the Japanese ChampCamera store:

You can now get the new Lensbaby composer II and the new Lensbaby Double Glass II at BHphoto. You can see some image samples at Explora.

Back in June 2022 OM Digital decided to stop taking preorders on their most expensive lens in the lineup. They said the reason was “high demand”. Well after 8 months OM Digital finally announced that it is accepting preorders again. But if you order it today you will get the lens not before August!

OM Digital also announced that the logo on the lens will change from “Olympus” to “OM System”.
