Canon EF 16-35 f/4L IS Hitting Retailers

[Random Orbits]

$125 off is better paying full price. Wonder what inside "100 Million EF Lens Gift Set"?

It's supposed to be a t-shirt, lens cloth and pin. I'll find out when the lens ships any day now. Buying the 16-35 f/4 IS was funded by selling the 16-35 f/2.8 II, and this is the first lens that I've ever pre-ordered.

Same here, sold the 16-35 II and first time pre-order. Waiting hopeful that it will arrive soon.

They charged my credit card yesterday, and the status has changed to warehoused. I'll have to FedEx divert it to a FedEx store, so I can pick it up after vacation. Have fun with yours!

Thanks. I am sure I will but you will be able to have fun with it first. Hope to see some pictures.

Well its 10 months since the Canon EF 16-35mm f4L IS has gone on sale and Canon must be selling plenty of them still because my back-ordered lens has gone back twice and Im still waiting for it. Similarly a friend is waiting for two zooms to be in stock with his dealer so Canon must either have manufacturing problems, poor stock control or great sales.

Funny how we have different experiences. I bought one new from a USA dealer at a discount within a few hours of deciding to buy one.

Think I'd try a different source if you are in the US. Canon USA, B&H, Adorama and Amazon have it in stock.

I've never heard of a lens "going back" after being ordered. Color me confused about this lens still being backordered. Every well known authorized dealer seems to show it being in stock.

Regardless, I'd cancel from whoever it was you ordered from and (assuming you are in the US) just put in an order at B&H or Adorama or even an ebay authorized dealer like PMI Digital (those guys are great, BTW).
