Well, I finally did it. After waiting and waiting one finally popped up on KEH used for $299.00, too much. 'Tired' of waiting I got this one instead: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7503871860 Brandy Spa-Dankin new with full warranty for $249.00! It's not he very latest version, but then neither am I. ;-)
I now have a very nice Sigma 90mm 1:2 Macro with matched 1:1 adapter available in EX+ condition with hood and caps for $100 if anyones interested. Pics and samples on request. Don
