I will be preordering the lens from Adorama later today, pretty excited. I noticed B&H has December 12th listed as a ship date. I hope this is true and that Adorama has the same, if not a close ship date to that.

This is my first time preordering something other than tickets or a videogame, and in my experience with that, they won't let you preorder unless they have an adequate supply. Does anyone know if this is the case here? I am going to jump out on a limb and guess that since I still have the option to preorder, then they still have enough to ship out on whatever date they end up going with.
