Here we go Again! Canon Apologizes for R6 Mark III and RF 45mm f/1.2 STM Supply Woes

DPD have sent my shipping information showing that they've received my R6M3 and 24-105L lens kit from Park Cameras and it's one it's way. PC told me last week that they expected them in towards the end of this week, but this is a bit earlier so am hoping I'll have it for the weekend (subject to sorting GST with Jersey Customs <sigh>) 📸

Ordered a 45mm 1.2 in Europe at the beginning of December, out of stock everywhere and the shop where i ordered said two weeks ago, that Canon delayed shipments and they have no idea when the lenses will arrive. Does anyone know what's the matter? No ETA in sight, I had hoped to receive it for Christmas (perfect family gathering lens), but now I'm worrying I have to wait further months for a this plastic fantastic (outside AND inside :D )

Perhaps they misjudged, but demand is outpacing supply. Because Canon has a locked mount, we are beholden to the mother ship for supplying fast, affordable lenses. They finally make one and turns out people want it. Should have been predicable considering how successful 3rd party lenses are on E, Z, X & L mount but some lessons take a while to learn apparently.
