Authorized Canon dealer Profeel via eBay let us know they have a few copies of the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II in-stock and available to ship, the price is $2199.00. This has been a difficult lens to get a hold of and has been out of stock for several weeks at most major dealers.

B&H Photo Video is now showing the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II to be in-stock at $2199.00.

Free expedited shipping. (Three days or less.)

This is the second store that we’ve seen now with this hot lens in-stock. The first yesterday was Profeel via eBay, which still has stock (and a 2-day ship offer.)

The Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II continues to be a hot item that is out-of-stock at all major stores.

A major and reputable Canon authorized dealer, Profeel via eBay has this hot item available to ship on Monday, January 5th, for $2199.00. They are offering a free 2-day shipping upgrade exclusively to CanonPriceWatch readers. Quantities limited.

To take advantage of this offer, click through to Buy It Now on eBay (choose Free Ground shipping, mention “CPW 2-Day” in the comments, and you will be upgraded to 2-Day for free.)

(But please note the store could sell out tonight on eBay before processing e-mail orders tomorrow.)

Given what appears to be supply issues on this lens, we are not expecting a street price from US authorized dealers soon.

Adorama has updated their page for the Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II — it now says “Now Shipping” (instead of “Pre-order”). It’s priced at $2199.00. Free expedited shipping.

We don’t know if this means the item is truly in-stock, or if it means that they’re expecting stock imminently. Several retailers told us the first batch was last Thursday and insufficient to fill all pre-orders. A second batch is due near the end of this coming week. This Adorama status change looks like a good sign. (If you’re desperate for one, order to get in the queue, then ask their customer support for an estimated ship date.)

It’s important to delay cancelling other pre-orders until after you have a confirmed ship date. One reader mentioned a bad experience regarding BuyDig. The store was showing “In Stock” on this lens early last week. Turns out that wasn’t true, and he unfortunately already cancelled his B&H pre-order.
