Have it on order.
No specific date but possibly the last couple of days of Dec. I guess depends on how many are shipped and how many back-orders there are.

Thank you, I had talked to B&H last week and they said they were getting
in 700 in their first pre-order shipment this month. I didn't get in on the
first shipment. They said there was as much interest and pre-orders as
there was in the 7DMKII. Watching for the big brown truck. mdh

I am sure it will be impressive, I loved the model it is replacing but after
seeing the changes in it I am trading up. I was able to sell my other 100-400L and one of my 7D's and apply some reward cards for my purchase.
That really helped me convince the wife that I didn't need to loose my
reward card money. Funny she never asked what I bought to get the
rebates and rewards. I read on one of the reports that this lens with a
1.4XIII extender was as sharp and good as the lens it is replacing without
an extender. Hope this is the case and hope you get one soon. mdh

From whom did you order it? My husband just came in and told me to order the lens, 'Merry Xmas"! I'm more than excited , however we all know about the pre orders being filled before I ever see it :?

I took a chance and waited until Canon listed the lens as "in stock" on Friday and ordered it. Until then it was listed as a 'pre order'.It states free over night shipping with fed ex. Because I ordered it at 7pm on Friday of course that would equate to shipping on Monday and if the Xmas angels are with me, delivery on Tuesday. I can only hope!
