The "PRO" end not much better

Yes they've have the designs, but their production and distribution is appalling. For example, the 40-150/2.8 - the current situation with Amazon European websites:

Amazon UK - originally taking pre-orders - now not even listed on site

Amazon Germany - €1399 - 1 to 2 months delivery (marketplace - 6 to 10 days delivery)

Amazon Italy - €1275.20 - not currently available

Amazon France - two marketplace suppliers - €1882 - in stock (at that price, not surprising)

Meanwhile

Amazon Japan - €968 - in stock

Amazon USA - €1230 - in stock

Given that Italian prices include 22% tax plus 6.7% duty, for once it appears USA is overpriced
