Re: Why Does This Used 80/1200 Achromatic Refractor Cost $2500?
It's a Zeiss objective but NOT a Zeiss
I think the price is way out of line with what I'd be willing to spend, though. Zeiss optics have a certain "collectible" value but I think the seller has overvalued collecting a Zeiss objective without it being a Zeiss complete
For comparison you could get a 100mm Takahashi Fluorite for around $2500.
