Waiting time for RF 100-500

[Sloob]

I'm currently on a list for the RF 100-500 and I'm curious as to how long others have had to wait for their order to be filled. It seems that the lens is in high demand and none of the dealers can give an estimate as to how long the wait will be.

It is a great lens. I am in the UK and got it after 2 days ... but ... went grey import as it was only available that way. I am unsure how you get on with that in the US but in the UK I have bought all of our kit from importers for the past 15 years without issue. HDEW and UK Camera Club here. I know some don't like them but tbh my wife was a professional and I saved a lot with only one issue which was sorted asap by HDEW.

Keep an eye on Best Buy’s website. They seem to get limited stock frequently but it is usually gone within a day or two. I recently picked up the RF 800mm f/11 there while B&H, Adorama and local shops haven’t seen this lens in months.

You can also sign up at canonpricewatch.com and setup an alert. But yeah this lens and other RF lenses are in short supply that Canon actually apologized....

Canon has released a list of RF lenses that they can’t meet the demand for

As we all know, a lot of RF mount lenses have been hard to come by for quite some time. Most of these issues are obviously attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic and all of the supply chain issues that…

I place an order for the RF 100-500 this morning on Canon’s US site and it says it is shipping today. Absolutely floored and I am sure hope it is not a mistake.

I saw it was available last nigjt and called to order it. The woman from Canon said that they were having computer problems and it was listed as available but it really wasn't. I hope you are able to get yours but according to Canon they don't have any and they aren't expecting any in the near future.
