Can someone tell why the lens image on the box has silver ring instead of standard red ring for L type lens?

I ordered mine and will get it tomorrow. Just wondering why those big dealers haven't had it yet. Can't figure out a good reason. How do you guys think?

Haven't used this supplier before. How is their credit?

Shooting your son playing soccer at wide open may be a challenge. What's your requirement of sharpness, the body, face or the eye? Using AI Servo mode (Menu P. 70) and High speed continuous shooting (Menu P. 112). You may try AF point expansion and set the AI Servo AF to case 4 (Menu P.85). Depend on your sharpness requirement, you may choose to set AI Servo 1st/2nd image priority accordingly (Menu P.94)

I used 5D II shooting my 3 year old son running in park. To get sharp focus on eye with aperture wide open was difficult. Just got my 5D III and hasn't tried it yet.

Any more sayings on BG-E11 availability? I just called Adorama and they are unable to provide estimated date.

Ordered on 4/30 from B&H, was back ordered, now shows In Stock, Order Sent to Warehouse!!!! Body only.
Can't wait! I'm upgrading from a 5yr+ 40D. I also got  the 85L  with this order and I cannot wait to use this magical combination.

Just checked and mine is processing to warehouse! Ordered 4/19.

Wow, B&H must have got a pretty big shipment this batch, they seem to have at least cleaned orders from 3/22 to 4/19, about a month of back order.

Oh yeah ;-). Me too, ordered Aril 3rd (102010xxxx), body only from B&H. Seems Mokh24 is good at digging out information from customer service rep.

I was just chatting with a B&H rep and he said they are expecting a shipment by the end of this week and he confirmed that my body only will be in this shipment.
I ordered on april 3.

Oh great. I ordered the same day, body only too. Let's see...

Interesting that you can get your 24 1.4 before they ship you 5D iii. I was told by Customer Service that my 70-200 will only ship when my 5D III ships. I ordered April 3rd. Does it imply something or they just treat me differently ;-(

I want to do the same. Did your movement of invoice impact your shipment? Did you call the customer service to make it?
