I leave on a trip (to Italy) on 4 March. Therefore, the very earliest possible date for release of the 16-50 and 50-135 is 5 March.
There was an indication (rumor?) a couple of weeks ago that the 60-250 availability had been delayed from March to June-July. But I have heard nothing that says that the first two will not be soon available.
