I was informed that B&H will not have these lenses today or tomorrow. They expect them on 8/31.
To quote my contact at B&H, who is well known here on the forum as an ambassador for B&H. \"As far as I know Nikon won’t begin shipping them to retailers until 8/26. We close mid-afternoon on Fridays so it is possible we won’t be able to offload the shipment, inventory and catalog them until Monday.
What I do know is we will get ours among the very first batch Nikon USA ships and we will fill existing backorders, oldest first, in the order we received them.\"
On the adorama site: \"Manufacturer will start shipping this item on 08/26/2016. Orders will be filled on a first come first serve basis. We do not charge your card until we actually ship the item to you.\" Then I spoke with a rep who confirmed, \"Nikon will begin shipping the lenses on 8/26, so we will receive them next week\".
Bestbuy\'s site says they will begin to ship their stock on 8/31

I was expecting the lens on Friday or Saturday, so I\'m bummed.
First world problems, I know.

So what B&H told me, makes some sense. If Manufacturer starts shipping on 8/26, B&H would not get them on around 8/31, perhaps he padded it a day, who knows.
