I picked mine up on Tuesday. I'm amazed that Australia has them so quickly. Mind you we don't have the battery grip yet, and I passed on the 18-35 as I already have the 20-35 and I couldn't justify it for the small increase. I am giving serious thought to the 16-35 when it comes out. All I have to do now is remember to reset the white balance when I change it. I have been running with the review screen turned off and I have a nice serries of pictures which are very blue due to the white balance being set to tungsten and using the flash!
