From Canon Japan (translated):

Apology and information regarding product supply status

Updated: May 18, 2023

Thank you for your continued patronage of Canon products.

Currently, we have received more orders than expected for each of the following products, and due to the impact of global supply of parts, delivery delays are occurring. Expected that the new product RF100-300mm F2.8 L IS USM will take a lot of time. We apologize again for making our customers wait so long. We will continue to take measures for stable product supply so that we can deliver products as soon as possible. Thank you kindly look forward for your understanding.
