Naveen:
	Consider yourself lucky.  I just received mine from Tamarkin last week
after a 50 week wait.  I've got to give those guys an attaboy, though.  I
ordered the lens last year during a Leica days sale at their place.  The
Leica days event provided 10% off.  At the time there was also a $150
discount on any lens purchased.  So, I saved a few bucks.  Since nothing
happened for almost a year, I figured they had simply sold what they got to
someone who was willing to pay more.  But, they called last week, told me
they had finally received a shipment and asked if I still wanted it. They
even honored the discounted price, no hassle.  So, anyway, 12 weeks doesn't
seem bad to me at all.
