You got a good deal, I just got one from a shop in Sydney for $3k with the 35mm.

When I was researching it over the last few weeks I never saw it for more than around $2500 from Australia.
I've also noticed that the Sony lenses are significantly cheaper here in Oz than in the states - compare the prices on B&H to any retail store here. For example B&H has the 35mm for USD$798, whereas Paxtons and DigiDirect have the same lens for AUD$749 - and that's retail in store.
I guess Sony is trying to push the A7 range here pretty hard.

Awesome camera too
