I went through that same wait a few weeks back. I finally just pre-ordered through Adorama, and got lucky when it shipped in just a few days. It is frustrating that such a popular lens is so hard to get ahold of, but in comparison to the life of the lens, I suppose a week or two isn't much. Anyhow, a pre-order arrangement will at least make sure you get one as soon as they get them in rather than hoping you catch the site at the right time, just a thought.
