My local dealer is not very large but he has just about everything in stock except for the still current AIS lenses and the new 24-70mm zoom. He has in stock the super teles as well as the 200-400mm zoom, 200/2.0 tele and the lenses you mention. Funny thing, he has a hard time keeping the 18-200 zoom in stock. Look around. Good luck.
