RF24-105mm F2.8 L IS USM Z Ordered and Shipped in 2 days

[russellm]

Just a heads up. I ordered the RF24-105mm F2.8 L IS USM Z on Canons website that is back-ordered everywhere (including their website) 2 days ago and I got a shipping notice TODAY!.

If you are interested in getting a lens right now I highly encourage you to use Rakuten as they have 10% back right now. If you user a referral to sign up, you'll get another $30 as well.

So I got a $300 rebate coming for the new lens as well

I do hope you get your lens, I just recall the 28-70 was plagued with examples of people ordering it, then it was canceled.

It was a shipment notification with a FedEx tracking number, not an order notification. Had it just been an order, I would not have posted

Wow, I got an email 45 min ago that Best Buy had it in stock, but right before I was going to post the link, it changed to sold out!

Mine arrives on Sunday. I hope it's a good copy... Always wary of 1st run production of anything...

I've been very happy with mine. No bugs that I've detected so far.

"Why not? Why not get myself into a debt crisis? These first of their kind lens designs could be a collector's item one day! I should buy two of them! Heck - I think I need two of everything!"

I heard over weekend that the R6 M2 will get a firmware update to support the Iris ring on the 24-105 2.8 lens
