Just ordered the 400mm DO II

[luckydude]

Amazon had one, does anyone have any explanation why they had one and B&H didn't?

Its not unusual for sellers to sell out quickly. You just happened to find someone that had one in stock. If you pre-order, they usually come into stock in a few days.

Will do. I have the mark 1 already so I'm eager to see if it really is that much better. The mark 1 is not bad:

I am on the camera Canada waiting list for one. I haven't seen them in stock at b&h or adorama either. Amazon has been getting one in every few weeks lately and then it sells in a couple days. Seems they have priority status on that lens.

Yes. Because B&H sold all their stock before Amazon did. That's my guess. Could give a better guess, but my Magic 8 Ball isn't working properly these days. ;D Congrats on the new lens!

Yes, as a potential buyer I'd be interested to hear your thoughts as well.
