Woot Woot!! Mine too!
Now, all we need is someone else that ordered from B&H & has received theirs to let us know how long it took to go from "order in progress" to when they got it (or at least shipped).

My 10:33 got notice and charged this morning, and is on its way for delivery tomorrow. My 11:18 was charged, but still says "in progress".

I think I'm right at a threshold... however it's the diameter combined with the weight that went over for me. And I really needed a walkaround zoom with that range... so for me it's more like the mallet when I really just needed a hammer.

VERY interesting discussion on the 28-70. Ordered it, then I began to be concerned with the size so before it was sent, I read, and read, and read--'till my eyes were RED. {This is all without a body to attach it to.} So after some more thought I changed to the 24-70. I have it and still NO BODY. But I believe I made a good decision. All-in-all these lenses just keep getting bigger. I stated in another post it's awful hard to cheat physics. I GUESS.

In my opinion, the difference in weight between the 28-70 and 24-70 becomes a secondary factor to the importance of gaining an extra stop in speed.
If you are not going to be shooting in environments that demand that extra speed, then the 24-70 was the right choice for your needs.
If you’re shooting events (primarily in low-light), for example, that extra stop becomes imperative.
I hope you get your R5 soon and do some tests with the setup and post some pics on here

Yes, everyone has their own needs.
I thought the 28-70 was for me, and I was proven wrong... by using it. Since I don't shoot in those situations that would require that lens often, I can fall back on the prime. However the size/weight/handing was the major factor because my use case was for a walk around lens (that I can go with the 24-70 for size/weight/IS/Extra Focal Length). For me this lens would have sit in a bag more than on the camera (which would have been a shame). If it wasn't for the size/weight I would have kept it... or if I had a use case (i.e. if I did weddings) for the extra stop in a zoom, I might have considered keeping it.

My general rule is that I try not to duplicate focal length with a one stop difference. So, I like my 24-105mm f/4 and 28-70mm f/2. One stop doesn't usually make a huge difference in what I shoot, but two often does.

I’m guessing you didn’t order from B&H ??I just received mine today (ordered on august 31, with a nice promo : 5 years garanty and an extra battery).
I'm impressed, huge improvement gap coming from 5d3.
Sorry busy now trying things out.

I'm in France, i ordered from photo-denfert.com
The offer has ended it was only for preorder.
If someone orders now they "only" give 5 years warranty, no extra battery.
I also fill in the form on canon cps website to get a free ef to rf adapter (even if i dont have ef lenses anymore).
