Had a strang status today. On my phone, with the B&H app, the status was "Processing" for the GM 135/1.8 AND the GM24/1.4 I decided to order a few days later. I was really surprised. When I got home an hour later and checked on line through my computer and the B&H website the status was "Backordered" on both still?
So who knows. As of 8:00 PM EDT it is still backordered.
B&H really dropped the ball if all of these other mom and pops are shipping the lenses early. I'm wondering if they were just back logged with work like hell from the Passover holiday they took.
Mine did ship yesterday from Adorama. I ordered it right as the pre-orders were allowed. They shipped it ground and I'll have it tomorrow. The wait is almost over.
Somehow I ended up with free overnight shipping from Adorama, so mine is supposed to be here in a couple hours. Might have to take the kid to the zoo this afternoon if the weather isn't terrible.

Haha, I blame Roger Cicala. $1900 is a chunk to spend on a 135mm prime, but there's some serious Kool-Aid factor with this lens. Part of me still wishes Sony would have just made an updated 135L, but I guess they couldn't be outdone by Sigma.
You know when your getting old when you have to decide what’s more fun this thing getting shipped today. Or getting all my teeth ripped out. I’m leaning towards the teeth
