What seems to be the problem?

I have been holding off purchasing the 8" dome port while waiting for the shade to be released. Any idea what is holding this up? I would rather buy this port with an extension and be able to use it for 2 of my lenses, but if I can't get the shade, the Sigma 15mm fisheye is sure going to be difficult to use, I think, and then I need 2 ports instead of one for my w/a lens and w/a zoom. I don't want to pack another port. Sure hope this thing hits the market soon. Any one know for sure?

Mold for shade is complete and Ikelite is waiting on parts. The shade can be added to the dome at any time............

Thanks for the info Ike, but is there any definite date that I can get one from a dealer? 80 days from Sipadan and would love to have it for that trip. P.S. Love your stuff!
