Projected shipping date for new RF 135/1.8L IS?

Does anyone know the projected shipping date of the new RF 135mm f/1.8L IS that was announced along side the EOS R6II? For the US they projected the R6 II would ship beginning in late November but I haven’t seen any date for the lens.

I debated if I wanted to pre-order it but in the end I did, just not right away. I know it’s projected to be in short supply so who knows when I might get one but that’s ok since I might get to see real user reviews before mine is queued up to go out the door.

Thank you for your time.

I do not have a precise date, but they said January 2023 for the first shipment.

I have preordered on the announcement day, so fingers crossed I get mine in Jan

Thank you. I doubt I will get mine in the first batch but will keep a lookout. Take care.

Has any received any updates on when RF 135/1.8 will resolve its backlog status at any US photo stores? It’s been a few months now.
