They're not alone. Canon denied an EF 24mm 1.4 was not coming until they
announced it last week. Nikon won't tell us here in the U.S. that something
actually is already selling in Canada until it is all out of stock in the
U.S. (i.e. two touch 80-200 2.8 last year). Rumors have a way of drying up
sales - at least on regular production stuff.
