A couple of SAR readers (Thanks Jochen, Marc and Josi) noticed that Sony Europe completely removed the 70-200mm FE lens from their sites. You cannot find it on any specific country site like Sony Germany, UK, Italy and so on…
UPDATE: A couple of hours after reading this post Sony quickly reacted and fixed the site. The 70-200mm FE lens is back 🙂

Oh no
Oh Yes.
On the other hand at least Sony watches this site.
Of course, Sony just messed up their web page (as many times before). The support page is still there: http://www.sony.de/support/de/product/sel70200g
On Sony.com it is still listed
Sounds weird…
juicy rumor
Something to lose sleep for a few nights….
Explanation is simple:
status on Sony US page for the lens is “backordered”. Sony has no resources left currently for this lens, concentrates on the 4 new lenses. Nothing to be worried about. Would you expand resources while market is shrinking?
No, in that case they would just set the status in their online shop to “backordered” and not remove the lens completely. It’s just a simple error on their web pages. It’s not the first, and it won’t be the last.
Sony remove the stabilisater
Great news for anyone selling this lens on ebay. Will be able to sell it for more than they paid for it (Assuming it is in mint condition)
E-Mount is dying
Haha good one.
It’s the end of the world as we know it.
There are other bugs, for example if you add some items in your basket, the order doesn’t go through !
Cool, if I can sell mine for 1500 euro I can buy my old 70-200 F2.8 II Canon back, it’s about 1500 E second hand 🙂 The sony really is horrible or video. Very nice for photography but the focus by computer is terrible.
Still there at sony.de

I thought for sure Sony was going to release a new, MK II version with different coatings with a list price of $2499.99. 😉
Sony adding new lens at site so it’s maybe some bug or hiden. Finland site you can find still lens http://www.sony.fi/electronics/kameran-objektiivit/sel70200g

Anton shot in his pants when he thought his lens testing made Sony recall all of their crappy lenses.
