I'm unable to find the official price of the MZ-5n now, but I seem to remember it was NOK 4500.Hi!
I thought I might post a link to a net auction because I thought it was a bit too much, in several ways. Here it is:

1. It's an MZ-5 with starting price NOK5400,- = 650 Euros or US$780.
2. OK, so a battery grip, a flash and a zoom lens are included, and a
teleconverter to. - But the lens is a Tamron 28-200mm, and the
teleconverter a "Kenko 2X". And he claims that's all you're going
to need...
Toralf, the main questions here is - how much would it cost to buy this stuff new today? MZ-5n is still listed on USA site, and knowing by personal experience that Pentax dealership in Norway is quite strong - I wonder really what's the real catch here...
Also, as I've said earlier, I came across a new MZ-6 at NOK 1898 a while back - which I would rather buy, I think, since it has some functionality the MZ-5 (as opposed to the MZ-5n) does not. E.g. there is no DOF-preview on the MZ-5, is there?

But I agree, such kind of auctions can make one's day easily.
