The status of my order changed to "order in progress" just now...
Mine as well, from BH. I didn't place the order until Feb 27. My first test is probably the big airshow in Florida the first week of April. I already ordered a lens coat, a 105mm short metal hood and a Breakthrough Technology UV filter, yes, I am one of those who use UV filters, especially when I shoot on beach.

We expect to see some great sample images from you within 2 hours of receiving it!
Kidding aside, I really look forward to seeing samples from all of us early adopters of this lens.
Well, for sure, I will take it out for a spin in the weekend. Not sure whether I can pull it off tomorrow though. I am looking forward to yours, Stuart!

I might be able to grab some shore bird images today, if my dog allows it on our beach walk
Same here. I just chatted with their online rep, she said mine should be shipping today, which means I will have it tomorrow. FedEX ground from BH to my place is usually one day. I have pre ordered very few lenses, this is one of the two or three, the 200-600 was another one.

You’re lucky you’re on the East coast. I have to pay extra for next day shipping otherwise mine wouldn’t arrive until next week 😄

My place is abut 200 miles from BH warehouse, so I usually get my stuff the next day. Just received the tracking number from BH. I am heading out one day next week to shoot ospreys but F8 will probably be a problem. Will see, the main reason I bought this lens is really for airshows.
Mine shows shipped from B&H as well. I live in Maine so it will most likely arrive tomorrow. No Ospreys up here for another 2 weeks or so, so looks like I will have to go find a duck or an eagle.
