Lens stuck on the dock in California

[RGF]

I talked to my dealer today and he told me he is not getting inventory because shipments are stuck on the docks in California.

Has anyone else heard this?

Customs problems?

No. Docks and all the stuff being held hostage.

There are ships stacked up off shore that cannot unload due to the Longshoreman's strike. A settlement has been reached, and unloading has begun. It will take at least 2 months to clear the backlog.

Hope only 2 months - I have heard estimates of 3-6 months.

That's entirely possible, and other factors like a possible dockworkers strike are looming. Canon is shipping the 11-24mm lens this week, so its possible to get lenses here by air or a alternate surface route.
