Thanks Adam. According to the moderator of the Canon USA forum, the EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens will not ship and be sold in the US:

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens. We can certainly understand the confusion surrounding this release! Unfortunately, this specific lens will not be sold or serviced by Canon USA.

Why that? DigitalRev (price depends by check-out location) ships international.

Amazon Germany has the new Canon EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens for the EOS M system in stock and ready to ship for €399 (click here). I am puzzled by the fact that Amazon US still is not even offering a pre-order option. And why the hell does the lens cost €50 more in France than in Germany? Looks like the EF-M 11-22mm will start to ship in Europe first. Other seller that accept pre-order, or may have the EF-M 11-22mm in stock and ready to ship:

• Wexcameras.de (€399)
• WEX Photographic (£379)
• Amazon France (€449)
• Amazon Japan (￥40,569)
• DigitalRev (price depends by check-out location) – ships international (custom taxes and duties for EU countries included in final price)
• The lens is , if you do not mind paying a higher price ($600)

Canon Japan announced the release date for Canon’s third lens for the EOS M system, the wide-angle zoom 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM lens. It will be released to the public on July 11.

Good times for the so much criticised (not always for a good reason, imo) EOS M: the recently released firmware update countered the slow AF issue that were plaguing the EOS M since the beginning, and that yielded a lot of bad press. With firmware 2.0.2 the EOS M AF has become perfectly usable. Some videos that show the AF performance with firmware 2.0.2 on the 11-22mm are here.

The EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM can be pre-ordered at the following shops:

• Amazon Germany (€399) – ships also to Austria and Switzerland
• Wexcameras.de (€399)
• WEX Photographic (£379)
• Amazon France (€449)
• Amazon Japan (￥40,569)
• DigitalRev (price depends by check-out location) – ships international (custom taxes and duties for EU countries included in final price)
• The lens is , if you do not mind paying a higher price ($600)
