Anyone gotten there hand on the new RF II lens dust cap yet? I placed an order the first day they were announced, but nothing yet. Apparently the deliver date got pushed back, although the email I received from B&H advised that they don't know when they are getting them (only showing back ordered). Curious to know if anyone here has actually gotten theirs yet. If so, is it less frustrating to use than the older cap?

I wonder if Canon will be able to keep up with the demand?
Also, the email they sent me a couple of weeks ago stated:
"We will continue to try and secure stock to fulfill your order, however at this time we do not have an exact date on when we can fulfill it.
Want other product options? Our Sales experts may be able to assist in finding a comparable replacement product we have in stock."
I assume Canon will keep making new RF lenses and those will be supplied with the new caps. It might take a while to fill all the spare cap buyers, but it's mostly a one-time activity.
Perhaps Canon is selling them too cheaply.
Based on the description of the new cap, it's exactly what Jan Wegener showed on YouTube. I made my own "V2 caps" more than a year ago by violating them with a screwdriver. I don't think I need to pay $7 for that.
