The biggest problem with this lens is the difficulty in actually getting your hands on a copy! As of last month today, Canon Japan is quoting a delivery period of six months.

Edit: Just checked Canon's web site, the supply constraint has not improved.

I ordered one from BestBuy (USA) last Friday and it was delivered on Monday.

Canon USA lists it as "in Stock."

So, in the USA this is not "the biggest problem."

That’s really interesting—it suggests the Canon lens shortage problem may not just be due to semiconductor availability, as many speculated. In this case, it may well be the lack of cargo ship spacw to Japan (RF 16mm is probably made in Malaysia or something).
