The white unicorn, Canon’s 100-400mm F/4.5-5.6L IS II is finally starting to hit stores, but is only trickling out a limited stock. Demand for this lens will be high from Canonites who prefer brand recognition and size over competing lenses from Sigma and Tamron.

A new shipment of these much sought after lenses has arrived at B&H, and is available. As mentioned above, stock is limited and if you want one, I suggest that you act quickly. These lenses will go fast, and it may be a while before more are in stock again due to the high demand.
