70-180 f2.8 Z zoom is shipping

[GrandNagus50]

I got an email a few minutes ago that B & H has shipped my pre-ordered 70-180 f2.8 zoom and it should arrive Friday.

I got it because of its small size and light weight, and for its wide maximum aperture. It would seem like a good lens for travel. Also, apparently it can be used with the Z teleconverters.

I also received notification from B&H that the 70-180 shipped today and I should receive it on Friday. I was really pleasently caught off guard beause I didn't order on the first day but around 4 days Later. I thouight it would be around at least 3+ months. I can only conclude that B&H must have received a huge shipment or the interest in this lens isn't as much as I thought it would be. Your thoughts?

Can confirm, my local store got them in. I don't want one, but I'm glad they're getting out there.

I'm interested to know how it performs with tc's attached.
I wonder how effective the body only IBIS is at 252 mm and 360mm?
