GH2 Does anyone know when/where to buy SLR Magic Hyperprime 12mm 1.6?

I ordered in late March, but I contacted Hyperprime earlier this month asking whether their one month estimate was simply a generous estimate because I was hoping to use the lens on a shoot come May 1st. They were quick to reply that it would indeed ship no later than the 25th of April; However they did mention that they were introducing a minor change in the lens, which reflects the $50 price increase to $550. Haven't heard that the lens wasn't being manufactured anymore.
 
Just an update: E-mailed SLRMagic yesterday inquiring of the status of my order; Needless to say I had feelings of trepidation after following the long wait times over on Personal View. Got an e-mail this morning from both SLRMagic and UPS with an announcement that it shipped, along with a tracking order. Barring any delays in customs, it should be delivered tomorrow.
 
I just called Adorama and got the last one they had in stock. $549 shipped. Looking forward to it as most of the test videos looked pretty impressive.
