I just got off the phone with B&H. They mentioned sending out a shipment early next week, but remained quite tight lipped about how many cameras they are getting and how many they have shipped out already.

I don't have the luxury of a local shop here.

If I am not in the next shipment, I may have to cancel and go with someone else, or get the kit and sell the lens. Maybe at a loss. Maybe at a gain.

Who knows. Just sick of waiting.
