Wonder if anyone has unlocked the secret to getting this lens. Does it make sense to pre-order? I called a half a dozen dealers and none had an idea when it would arrive.

You can put your name on waiting lists or preorder from several places and then cancel any outstanding orders once the first vendor ships the lens. There are probably thousands of new R5/R6 users waiting for the lens (and I'm one of them), so good luck. The Canon USA store supposedly had one in stock for a few seconds today.

Thank you. Some sites show estimated availability dates but they are probably guessing. There is a dealer in Honolulu that has it in stock but won't ship! I'd love to buy it without a big tax bill ... let's see.
