Ahh, I don't mind really if it's just something the guy does on the side. Not too sure about the demand here but I guess if people want it, then they'll enquire :D

That's right. I have a good source of these lens. I think if there is a demand here I may import some. One of my friend recommanded this forum to me. He think it might help to do a reserach here.
These lens are BOWER branded (USA). The 650-1300 with T mount adaptor will be around $600nzd and a 500mm marco will be around $350nzd.
Here are some description of the 650-1300. There are also other specs available. If you think this is spam please ignore it. I just want to see is there a market here.
This extreme 650-1300mm f/8-16 Manual Focus Lens from Bower is an economical way to achieve some ultra-telephoto photography, all the way up to 1300mm. This is a T-mount lens, which means that aperture is not communicated to or controlled by the camera body, and as such must be used only in aperture-priority autoexposure mode (if your camera has it) or in the manual exposure mode. There are T-mounts available for every modern DSLR system as well as for most older film cameras and even C-mount cameras.
It will work on both "full frame" digital cameras as well as the smaller-format APS-C (15 x 22mm) cameras, but has only one effective aperture at any focal length, which varies from f/8.0 at 650mm to f/16.0 at 1300mm. That's not much of a hinderance, however, as you'd likely use this lens at its relatively small maximum aperture in any case.
This lens requires bright light and a high ISO setting on the camera to get a fast shutter speed (or fast film in a film camera), and needs a sturdy tripod or monopod, but can deliver very sharp results if used properly.
• Incredible zoom range • Multi-coated elements reduce flare and increase light transmission • White barrel helps reduce heat buildup • Aperture is fixed-position, but only varies based on focal length • Deep lens shade with matted, dark internal coloring • Tripod mount upon lens barrel

No, not the same brand but it'll have come out of the same factory.
