I have been waiting patiently for these to become available in the US. But this is getting ridiculous. I need them for an upcoming commission. I am on a couple of retail waiting lists. They have been out for a couple of months in Europe right? Anyone have any idea what the holdup is here.
B&H currently has the 17 t/s.
Adorama has the 24 t/s II as of this morning.
Both dealers have had both lenses, on and off, over the past couple of weeks.
I don't know what Canon is doing. I was able to get my 17 t/s through a
local dealer who usually has no problem getting stock. That was six weeks ago. I've been patiently waiting for him to get the 24 t/s II but no such luck. In the interim I've had four architecture projects to shoot, it would have been nice to have the new 24 t/s II for those. So, with some pending arch. work scheduled when I got the automated email yesterday from B&H saying it was in stock I ordered it immediately.
Canon definitely seems to be supplying B&H and Adorama but few others. Register for each lens at B&H and you'll get an email when they're in stock or check Amazon because they'll tell you how many Adorama has of each when they are available.
