My respect for Zeiss as a company just grew even more today after reading this letter on their Twitter page! They apologize for the lack of availability of their Batis lenses. And the good news is that they managed to increase the production of the Batis lenses and expected delivery is now 2-3 months. Thanks Zeiss for finally answering the customers request!
Here is the official Zeiss press text:
