Hi Paul, Nope i didnt pick up any of the lenses :)
They also have a K35/3.5 for $95au, the filter thread wasa bit dodgey in one part, but could probaly get them to come down on the price. I've already got one and i'm quite impressed with it. I had the sigma 105 before the the FA100/2.8 and Tamron 90/2.5. they're all pretty close in performance :) Nice buy on the Tak 85/1.8.
