The MZ-3 was originally intended for the Japanese domestic market only where they were going to sell the MZ-5 and the MZ-3, but not the MZ-5N. The -5N was meant for export. Pentax Corp. in the US made the decision not to sell the MZ-3 in the US because of the price. This was a sales/marketing decision. However, because of the number of requests from European distributors, Pentax Europe added the MZ-3 to their stock assortment - selling it (initially) as a kit with the 43mm.
