->> It was delayed before the quake. I've had the fisheye preordered for months, and May was the target date three weeks ago...I'm just hoping for the start of football at this point.

->> For the record the 300 and 400 were originally targeted for December 2010, then pushed back to March 2011 and then on Mar 24, 2011 Canon Japan issued a press release that the lenses would be delayed again due to the impacts from the earthquake. New release date TBD.
