Due to the shortage of orders for the viltrox 85mmF1.8 stm X-mount autofocus lens, the existing production line capacity is tight, resulting in the delay of the 85mmF1.8 stm E-mount autofocus lens pre-sale date, which opened on May 1, 2019. Pre-sale, we apologize for the inconvenience caused to the majority of photographers. The new production line is being tightened, so stay tuned.”
