It seems to be unavailable at my usual local and online shops here in Japan. They were supposed to be available 11/29, but now the page says it is Out of Stock or Backordered. I sold my EF Mark III version a week ago, so it seems I'm going to be without for a while. If anyone else in Japan has been able to score one or knows when or where this lens will be available, please let me know.
ETA: I did finally get my hands on one (I went with the black). I put in an order with my local shop around Dec. 10. I was told Canon would be shipping them on the 27th, but it arrived a little early on the 25th. It was kind of funny- there was another guy there at the exact same time buying the exact same lens as me. We high-fived and congratulated each other as we were trying out our new toys.
