Umm, didn't I just describe what motors are in the DFA Holy Trinity, at least to the best of my knowledge?

There is no need to re-do them because they work just fine.

The DFA*50 has a completely new SDM ring motor. It is much bigger and more powerful than previous motors, because the focus group of the new lens is comparatively massive.

Pre-orders at the moment, Biz.

Demand very high in July? Strange. They should postpione to September, it is a better month to have the reviews done and exposure.

Lol. Postponing would obviously work to limit exposure.
And having the lens in people's hands, even if not all of us will get theirs, to increase it.

Demand exceeding expectation is a good problem to have, up to a point.

Short term pain but this type of situation is good long term as it will likely motivate Ricoh to free up additional resources for other projects. Nothing like a runaway best seller to get interest from all parties including the big office on the top floor.

Nevertheless, that lens will definitely sale in reasonnable numbers.
We should all participate thus making possible the next ones.
I think so too that's why I'll be getting one as soon as my Tax rebate comes in.
