New lens announced: 10mm f/2 AF by DZ Optics

"Vaporware" is when something takes a very long time to get released into the market after it was announced, so long that people don't believe it's ever going to be released, and usually it never does get released. I don't think anyone has been aware of this lens for long, so it's definitely not vaporware yet. Wait 8 months and then make that claim.
Has enough time passed to call it now?
 
Such a shame that this lens never materialized. I only learned about it today, and have scoured the internet for where to buy one, only to be disappointed. This lens would still sell.
 
Surely the Laowa 10mm F2 would serve as well?
The Loawa's AF is not so good ;-)
I didn't find focusing the Laowa manually anywhere near as simple (or successful) as I'd expected - but optically, not too many few complaints from me! Being critical, perhaps the top area of this first one?









Even so, since the arrival of Panasonic's PL 9mm mine has had almost no further use...
