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.

Hope it all goes to plan - it's a great lens, you'll love it.

You were right to ask me about the confirmation email. The status of my order is now "inventory fulfilled". No tracking number and no confirmation email. This is my first experience buying from Canon USA. The rep says "we have no more information". They sound friendly but are seemingly quite inefficient.

Hope it doesn't sit in this limbo status of "inventory fulfilled" for too long. Wonder if anyone else had this experience.
