Chased them and got this reply:

Thank you for your patience!* We are making them as fast as we can.* We are still fulfilling webstore orders from March at this point.* In the next 7-10 days we should catch up significantly.* At that point I will be able to give you an approximate ship date.* We have posted on our site that shipping is delayed three weeks and the orders keep pouring in.* We haven't sent any out to our stores or distributor accounts yet.* We have solved the 4/3 issue that we had and those will be manufactured in the next fortnight.* We hand assemble every single Lensbaby right here in our office and unfortunately some of our parts suppliers haven't been able to keep up with us since the launch of the 2.0.* While being Sold Out is a good problem to have, I assure you it is pretty stressful!* Your order is on our wall here and I will give you an update in the next 7-10 days.* Thanks again for your patience.* Have a great weekend.

We apologize for the continued delay.* Our biggest problem besides the sheer volume of orders is parts.* Our parts suppliers just can't keep up with us.* We have sourced a new supplier for one particular part that keeps holding us up and we are keeping our fingers crossed that they can help us catch up in the next couple of weeks.* We are basically a month behind on our promised ship dates.* Thank you for your patience.* We will ship your 2.0's as soon as we possibly can.*


Sorry guys for taking so long for the MO. Let me know if u wish to have your deposit refunded.

Hi there,
is it too late to place order now ?
im interested, mind informing me via sms so I can check back...=)
cheers!

We haven't forgotten about you. Your order is on the wall here with all the others. We have lots of stores and distributors waiting for them. I wish I could wave my magic wand and fulfill them all. So far, we have only fulfilled individual web orders and we are still fulfilling orders from April. Besides the volume of orders we have been dealing with a shortage on a certain part we need to actually build the Lensbabies. We manufacture them ourselves in our Portland, Or. headquarters and a couple of our parts suppliers have been unable to keep up with us. We have sourced a new parts supplier and they will start shipping to us next week (hopefully) which will enable us to catch up significantly. We apologize for the huge delay and assure you that we are doing everything we can to catch up. I hesitate to make another ship date promise until those parts are actually in our hands. Thanks again for your patience and have a great day.


They are trying to fulfil individual web orders. And even so, there's still a backlog dating back to April.

So here's a few options u can choose to do:

1. Continue to wait with me.

2. Have your refund.

3. If u don't mind spending some extra money and taking a little risk, what u can do is u go ahead to place your own oder through their webpage.
If u manage to get your lens first before they charge my credit card, let me know and I'll refund u. If I had my bulk order first, u can try cancelling your order. But I'm not sure how easy is it for u to cancel your order.

 

[RossChang]

I'll wait. :thumbsup:

 

[neokn]

Yes, wait we will...

 

[chii]

wait wait wait..

patience we must exercise.

Yeeeehaaah! My lensbaby 2 is finally in.

Ordered it in early April but only got it on Tuesday, two days ago, so the backorder took more than 2 months to clear.

First impression? I'm in love :lovegrin:

Images are cleaner with less CA, and the everything, from its construction, to the easy aperture changing, to the lensbaby pouch, to the aperture ring holder, to the miniture lensbaby lenspen, even its box is so much better than the original lensbaby I got more than a year ago. :thumbsup:

Yes! Yes! Now to find some time to do some indepth comparisons :lovegrin:

Our apologies to you.* We are optimistic that we will catch up and be able to ship your order in just a couple more weeks providing our component suppliers keep their promises.* The Lensbaby 2.0 was just given the Editor's Choice award from American Photo magazine which is a great honor and has spiked demand once again.* Customers are still waiting 6 weeks for their 2.0 and we have about 200 e-mails a day and the phone rings off the hook!* This is all very wonderful for us but we are a small company and we are trying desperately to catch up with our inventory. We apologize a hundred times over and hope you can wait just a*little longer.*
