They probably meant that the lenses were being shipped from Canon to to them.  My local retailer lets me know when Canon has notified him of a shipment for a product I have on order, so it can just be a misunderstanding of what they were telling you.

Get the EF 24-70 II. With no other lens in this aperture range you can focus so quick.

Thanks what I am thinking too MST...

Done... Pre-ordered the 24-70mk.ii and returned the Tamron. I had a couple of other issues with the Tammy. I already mentioned AF was off compared to MF, even after AFMA, but what was weirder was even after Setting the lens to MF, and setting focus by hand/MF, half pressing the shutter button would activate AF and it would try and focus for a second then shoot... thereby messing up my MF.

I double checked, it was set to MF. This happened regardless of whether VC was on or off. I found this very weird. And if I was apprehensive about non-Canon lenses... this really did it for me.

I just hope Canon releases a sizeable chunk of 24-70 ii's...  :)

I placed a pre-order for mine in May, so hopefully I will be towards the top of the list on getting the lens here in the States.
