I still have my pre-order with Abe's of Maine... i noticed my card has been charged already, and the status is "Sent to warehouse"... so hopefully I get it soon to test it out!

Don't get your hopes up my order has been saying the same thing for more than a week
I found out they don't wait for it to be available, they charge you the day they confirm your order.
I put a preorder notification in to digitalrev.com so they email me when it became available, I got the in stock email this morning well when I went to look at the website to check if it was still in stock for some reason the price is now $2099.99!!
Well I decided to call Abe's to see what the status on my order and they told me they have already fulfilled some preorders and don't know when they are getting more in.
That sounds about right. My store in Portland seems to be receiving lenses in small numbers. Mine was only the second one that they'd received - the first was about a week or so before.
Call around to local shops, it seems every small shop got one or two last Thurs/Friday. I had a list of 6 shops within an hour of me to call first thing Saturday, I got lucky on the first call and picked it up Saturday morning.
I picked up my copy last Thursday. I haven't had too much time to use it yet but got a little nice light this weekend and used it a bit while we were dancing to some Christmas tunes. My overall impression so far is positive.
These are all at ISO 800 f/2.5 on a D700. Lighting was just natural light coming from a bay window.

I cancelled my Amazon preorder on Friday as I found one elsewhere online, should have it on Thursday!
I wonder if Amazon only received one or two like everyone else.
I was about to jump from amazon when they screwed up my preorder but they have since resolved it to my satisfaction... so im just gonna hold on and wait...
The other day they were selling the 24 1.4 for 1999 and I was sooooo tempted to get that to fill the void of my desire for new glass... but i held off and now its back up to 2189 or something around there...
