I guess you understand that we would want to know if there is a working prototype or not, I am just referring about what they said, a prototype was expected at the end of 2018. So I expected just one word about it, that is all, like " we got it", or "it is ok",....
I admit I dont understand what you mean in your second sentence.
"the reason the company wants the lens, will play a factor for when the news...hits the ol interwebs ".
