Soon^tm

In all seriousness, I have no clue, not sure if the announcement included any firm date. Based on past performance, I'd guess in February or March*.

*But I really don't know anything, just a random guess, so don't take my word for it.

According to DPReview.com:

"Canon has announced two lenses for its EOS system. The EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM is designed as a relatively compact image-stabilized standard zoom for full frame SLRs, and will be offered as a kit with the EOS 6D. It  includes a Macro setting offering an impressive 0.7x magnification, backed up by Canon's Hybrid IS that promises increased effectiveness at close distances. It's also weather-sealed, and will be available from mid-December at an RRP of $1499 / £1499.99 / €1459. Meanwhile the EF 35mm f/2 IS USM features an all-new optical design, and includes image stabilization and an ultrasonic focus motor. It will be in on sale early December for $849.99  / £799.99 / €849. Both lenses will work on full frame and APS-C cameras."

Thanks Zlatko.  I even checked DP and did not see that post.

I talked with Norman's (USA) and they said late December or early January before they expected to start seeing them come in...
