Sorry if it's been asked and answered, but does anyone know the approximate availability date for this lens? In the US? in Japan?

It's supposed to be available April 14th in the US.

Thanks. Anyone know when it might become available in Japan? I'm traveling in a couple of weeks and if this lens becomes available in Japan by the end of this month, it would be nice to give it a spin while I'm there. Of course, I'll have my trusty 55/1.8 as 'back up.'

Thanks Jon - that's somewhat surprising.
