**Orders being taken** for Canon 24-105 f/4 "L" IS USM

photobug

FYI -- orders are now being accepted for the Canon 24-105 f/4 "L" IS USM lens!

Price: $1249 "everywhere" online ($1249 is Canon's Minimum Advertised Price) ... the price may soften slightly in a few months, after the supply pipeline is full.

Availability: Sept or October ... depending who's talking



Here are some online vendors with whom I've dealt before and found to be reputable, and their status (as of 25 Aug) w.r.t. this lens:

Adorama:

"Delivery starts in Sept 2005" (which probably means they'll ship at least one on Sept 30th, since others are saying October)

[at least, no orders taken online -- maybe Andy could walk up to the B&H counter in NYC and order one, but that's a bit challenging for me to attempt from California]
