Not sure who would pay that for it. Amazon US has had it for a few weeks from around $1150 to $1300 depending on time. BH has it for $1200. BH shows pre-order, but Amazon has them in stock for $1300 US.

Even at $1200, I can't see why someone wouldn't rather opt for a Nikon, Canon or Sony Tamron or Sigma 17-50 on a 60D, 7D, D7100, T5i, etc. and spend far less on the glass with likely pretty comparable results.
