85mm VCM availability

I pre-ordered this very close to when it was announced. I was wondering if anyone else having a hard time getting a copy of this lens. I looked on Adorama and BNH, adorama says it won't be available till December. Kinda curious to why the availability is super low.

Got mine on the day of release. Dealer told me they received 20 to cover three branches.

Ah nice! The shop I always buy from only got one from their initial shipment. Then I looked at the bigger spots, Adorama and BNH and they don't look like they got any allotment of the lenses.
