Hi all, in case you are looking--the lens shows as being "in stock" at Canon USA.

I just placed my order. Hoping it arrives in 3-5 days.

"In Stock" at "shop.canon" does not always mean it is really in stock. Have you gotten an email confirmation of your order actually placed and not just that they got your order? If so then you are probably good.

I had called them before I posted my message. They said they "got them today. Nine in one warehouse, seven in another". Am hopeful mine is one of them! Should ship tomorrow.

Sounds good. When it works, it works fine. My first order went smooth but my second order ended up "backordered" even though the website said it was in stock. I got a hazy email response after ordering saying that they had received my order and that I would get a confirmation when the order was accepted (that never came). Many others have reported similar experiences. Once you get the confirmation email, you should be fine.
