Pricing and retail availability are currently unknown, but details reportedly obtained from a prior exhibition where the lenses were displayed state that both lenses will be manual focus only, though there will be electronic contacts to facilitate lens-body communication. Both lenses are also expected to be capable of ±12mm shift, ±10° of tilt movement, 360° revolution in 15° increments, and 90° rotatable tilt/shift.
