Amazingly, my new DA 35 macro arrived today via UPS Ground from Hotdigital, one day after I ordered it. I was only promised "regular shipping", but they sent it out right away and I'm not super-far away from NYC. The lens appears be to be functioning well, although my testing hasn't been rigorous.
The only non-final part of this whole transaction is the MS cashback, although they have up until 60 days to remit the money.
So far, I'm really pleased with the lens and the price!

No, this is all US dollars. I was reluctant to bid on the (cheaper) Canadian dollar Prodigital2000 auctions because the warranty was a 2 year Canadian warranty. I'm in the US, so I thought that would be a problem.

In case anyone else is in the market for a DA 35 macro, I thought it might be helpful for me to recount my buying experience.
After reading recently that posters on this forum got a good deal on this lens from Prodigital2000, I checked out their eBay auctions and offered them US $295 on their buy it now price of US $369. They counteroffered at US $340. I am in the US and wanted to take advantage of the MS cashback, but this isn't available for a Prodigital2000 product. With my 10% off eBay coupon, I was looking at $306 plus $18 shipping for a total of $324.
Another eBay seller (Hotdigital out of Brooklyn, NY) was offering this lens for US $389, shipping included. MS cashback was available for this item (savings of $97.45) as well as the 10% coupon (savings of $38.38). After looking through their feedback and not finding anything seriously negative about them on this forum and the other one, I did a Buy It Now today. If all goes right, I'm expecting the total price to be US $253.37.
Right now, I'm crossing my fingers that all will go right with this transaction. Its my birthday present!

Thanks Ivan! You've encouraged me to give it a try in "A" mode.

My new (to me) K1000 SE showed up today, and I'm in love! I also own a K100D and recently got a AF-360FGZ flash for it.
Although I know that this flash won't communicate in any way with the K1000, it appears to fit in the hot shoe. This is the only flash I have, and I'm still a very green newbie at using it. Any reason why it won't work on the K1000? Might it work in "A" mode?

Were I leafing through the pages of Vogue, both of those images would make me stop and gawk. Love, love, love the shoe coming at me and the lighting of the model in that second shot.
