Yes first production run is US$4500. If you want a field flattener for it (a must for imaging) then that is extra, I think its about US$750 but not sure on that.
It is very likely to go up but perhaps not by a lot as Yuri believes in being economical and is not a gouger. But it is a fluorite triplet with fluorite from Schott Glass in Germany.
What is a Tak FCT 100 worth? That's the comparable scope (10mm less aperture and slower F ratio).
Yuri redid the lenses as the glass from O'Hara (the ED glasses) had slightly different characteristics than their brochure and the testing showed colour optimised for red only. So he redid the optics. He does not compromise on quality.
