Yep - the first time I saw one, as mentioned. Not that I was looking for
one (afaik they're not really interresting as anything but collection
pieces - the bodies and the accessoriess being in short supply and all).

If I recall correctly, it was one lens lens in the "normal" area -
wouldn't be surprised if it was the FLT equivalent of 50/1.8 (whatever
