    canon70200f4 - The first Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM shipment appears to have been delayed

    When Canon officially announced the Canon RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM and the Canon RF 50mm f/1.8 STM, both lenses were scheduled to be available in early to mid-December. While the RF 50mm f/1.8 STM has begun shipping, we're still waiting on the RF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM.

    It now appears the first shipment of the new lens will not happen until January 28, 2021, according to many retailers, including Adorama. There is no word on why the delay, it's just a sign of the times I think.

    3. Are people really getting their RF 50mm f/1.8's shipped? I ordered mine the 1st day it became available and I've heard nothing, plus IIRC it originally said Dec 4th and now it doesn't list a date.

      FWIW, B&H charged my card yesterday and I had pre-ordered on the first day. Status is listed as "Order in Progress" as of this morning.

      Same with me. Lens hood looks like it's still on pre-order.

      Better that way around than they send you the lens hood and leave you waiting until mid February for a lens to model it on ;-)

      Pre-ordered when announced and received mine on Dec 7th (this is in Austria - most major outlets in Europe seem to have them on stock since Dec 4/5).
    10. A delay from Canon? On an RF part? Impossible.

      I recently ordered and received the RF 70-200L f2.8 (great deal BTW and everything I hoped it would be) and it showed up virtually overnight. Of course, it's been out for over a year so...

      I was considering the 100-500L but seeing as how well my 100-400L II and 1.4X III perform I couldn't see the point.

      I don't know if it matters but there is a factory in Japan that burned and will be 6 months rebuilding it. Apparently, they make parts for Canon, Sony, and Nikon. The story said that the factory would likely cause shipping delays for camera manufacturers and possibly lenses also?
    13. I really wish Canon would handle this situation like Apple does. They postponed the iPhone presentation (even though their September date is almost kind of a tradition) in order to have the iPhones available to preorder and being shipped within days after the presentation. That's the way to go!

      Canons way, there are just so many unhappy people...
    14. Preordered the 50mm from B&H om the first day and I should have it tomorrow. Forgot to order the hood.

      Still waiting on the RF 600 and RF 800 hoods that I have had on order since the end of July.

      Yeah I get mine from B&H tomorrow.
