There is very little info about on these. They were evidently an ED design made by Zeiss in the mid 90's in an effort to compete with the new wave of ED designs. It is my understanding about a dozen were made, and then the wheels fell of the great Zeiss company. Some lenses were already in cells, and others in tubes, and I suppose they became the property of the new owners, Baader Planetarium.
Anyway, enough ramble, NO, it is not for sale, sorry. It will never be, and my son has already got ideas of owning it. It took ages of negotiating etc to get, plus LOTS of money, and I couldn't sell it, never.
Having said that, I have seen the odd one available, and at astronomical prices, no pun intended. I did know of one for sale recently in Germany (where they seem to wear the "Presto" label), so if you are serious Stephan I can ask around for you.
