Stores and distributors in China are removing all Sirui Z-mount lenses

Several Chinese sources report that Sirui has removed Z-mount lenses from online stores.

Only a few distributors still have Z-mount links available online:

The official Sirui website still lists several Z-mount lenses. In the US, Sirui Z-mount lenses are still in stock at B&H Photo.

Previous coverage of Sirui Z-mount lenses is available here. Additional coverage of all Sirui lenses can be found here.

Maybe this is all related to the recent reports of Nikon filing a lawsuit against Viltrox in China, and similar actions will be taken against all unauthorized third-party lens manufacturers:
