Fri 27-Oct-23 09:16 AMSorry to hear that. From what I gather, Nikon is still filling pre-orders for that lens from June 21, 2023. Hopefully production will catch up to demand. Good luck.
Best Regards

Fri 27-Oct-23 04:46 PMI ordered through my local shop (Kenmore Camera) and they - this week - told me that they were getting their third batch, and that they should get enough to clear their backorders "within 2 months".

Sat 28-Oct-23 12:34 PMMy order was on June 28, and yesterday I got the notification it is ready to be shipped, direct from Nikon. I learned my lesson ordering from B&H on popular items. A full YEAR for my 500mm pf. And about 9 months for my D850. My Z9 was also much quicker at 5 months direct from Nikon.

Sun 29-Oct-23 09:58 AMI think you are right. I will order from now on directly from Nikon. But, at this point I'm not sure I should cancel the order with B&H because it may put me at the bottom of the Nikon list.

Sun 29-Oct-23 11:18 AMYou could keep your B&H order active, and when you get an e-mail telling you your order from one is going to be shipped soon, cancel the other.Visit my Nikonians gallery.

Mon 30-Oct-23 11:25 AMI spoke to Nikon today. They said I should just stay on the B&H order list otherwise, I will go to the bottom of their list.

Yes ! my lens was delivered on Monday from B&H
Problem was on my Z6, I could not set VR, tried other lenses on my Z6 and they worked fine.
Tried new card, fully charged battery, I even read the owners manual
.
Maybe, just maybe my firmware was not up to date. Checked and yes, way down level.
Upgraded to latest firmware and everything worked as it should. I guess keeping equipment
up to date is important!
The lens looks good, handles well , and the few pictures I took sharp and overall I like it.
Hope you get your lens soon.

Thu 16-Nov-23 09:38 AMCongratulations, you will like it. I am getting used to the size and weight of it. My first really big lens.

But (in limited testing, so far) seems like a pretty great lens
