They did deliver mine this week, though, but perhaps the lenses that came in were all sent out to fill backordered ones and there are still no new available ones in stock.
I'm wondering if these 35/2 FA lenses are a new batch, though. I had one a couple of years ago and this one seems the same in all respects. It's still labeled "Japan," too, not "Vietnam," so perhaps that's a good thing ...
The serial number on mine is 52840XX. Anyone want to check their existing FA 35/2 lenses or any ordered from B&H in that last shipment to see if it looks like a new batch was manufactured?

As recently as last week this was listed as being available as a special order item with a 7-14 day lead time. But today it now lists as backordered. I must not be living right. I'm still waiting on my SMC Pentax-FA 35mm f/2 AL from B&H too. It seems Pentax is running some real shortages lately.
Or we are about to see some new lenses coming. Who knows?
