New Canon 16-35 f4 IS not listed in CPS directory

[MARKOE PHOTOE]

Hi Guys,

I'm loving the new 16-35 F4.0L IS and went to register it in my CPS inventory but don't find the lens listed there yet? Assume others are finding the same thing?

Gee, how long does it take Canon to catch up?

Thanks,

When I bought my 70-200/2.8L IS II at launch, I went to register it and the system didn't allow me to enter my purchase date because it was supposedly before the lens was available.

They do not update it every day, probably quarter or twice a year. Its not like Canon is releasing new pro lenses or cameras so frequently that they have to update it monthly..

The same thing happened to me this morning - no CPS or Canon USA Registration entry. I thought I might email CPS to see if they can add it but haven't gotten around to it yet.

Mine is listed in CPS Europe.
Just registered

I wrote CPS this morning and just received a reply back from them. They apologized and said that they "had reported this to the appropriate party." Personally, I'm not too worried about it, but don't want to forget to register it

Update - the 16-35 f/4 IS can now be registered on Canon USA's site. CPS still doesn't have it, though.

 

[mackguyver]

It's listed in the CPS USA site as well, now.

I'd be happy to do it, but I seem to have misplaced my credit card. Sorry.

If I find it, I'll take care of that for you. My finder's fee will just be that I'll buy one for myself as well ;-)

LOL, and if you do find it, please see how far you can take the "No limit" on my AMEX B&H would be a good place to start ;D

B&H take cash, too. Although in my experience it takes a surprising number of B&H employees to count the money and fill out the IRS paperwork when you walk in and pay for a 600/4L IS II with a stack of Benjamins. 8)
