Seems to happen with every new camera or lens release any more. Good thing the market has tanked. Just imagine if we were still in the glory days of a decade ago...would take 2 years before you could get the new camera!

No, we're seeing this pattern because the market has tanked. The camera makers only invest enough to meet a conservative demand estimate, choosing to leave short-term money on the table rather than over-invest in capacity that they know will go idle in a year or two when people who wanted those lenses get theirs.
