>From rec.photo.marketplace. (My apologies if this was forwarded earlier--I just cautiously rejoined the list while I await the digest version.) Brian Walsh MZ-3/43mm F1.9 Limited Edition Package (Silver) sold in Japan a couple of years ago. see http://www.pentax.co.jp/japan/news/1998/17.html I purchased this in Japan when it came out and babied it since. It is in a prisitine/like new condition complete with original box. I have not used this package much except for special occasion for indoor shots, and the original batteries are still strong. The special edition MZ-3 (with date back) is different from the regular one in that it is; Dark brown body Light gold colour shutter button, shutter dial lock button & comp.dial lock button Gold stripe below the front Pentax logo a gold Special Edition logo on Th. front of the body Comes with a genuine leather strap with Pentax logo Instruction book is in Japanese but you can get an English version from Pentax The Special Edition 43mm/1.9 Limited lens comes with a matching Pentax UV filter and Pentax logo embossed on the lens cap rather than painted. MZ-3 is an updated version of MZ-5n with 1/4000 shutter spped and 1/125 sync, and not available in the U.S. market. Price is US$650 plus shipping. (original purchase price was approx. US$1300).
