I have the urge to gloat here: I bid on a six-month old MACRO version late last year via Ebay for under $60 AU .... and won it!
I almost felt bad for the seller. But I got over that.
Holding my breath and hoping there isn't some massive fault yet to be found, but it seems to be in perfect working order.
I'm interested by the older thread's comment about the yellow tint. Will watch out for that. Hopefully it's something that can be easily corrected via software.
