Baader MKIII Zoom Price Drop

Baader MK-III 8mm-24mm Zoom

Pristine brand new condition (roughly a month old) untouched optics with all original box, caps, adapters, spare eye-cups, leatherette carry bag etc. I have used it in total on only 4 nights. Indistinguishable from a brand new EP.

IMHO the MK-III is a significant improvement over the previous model (I have now had both to compare) particularly with the clarity in the optics.

A good description of the improvements in the MKIII over the previous MKII can be found here:

http://www.optcorp.com/product.aspx?pid=78-9246

Brand new price (in Aust) is $299 (OzScopes/Andrews/Astro Pete) or $335 (Astronomy Alive) + $15PPH

Asking $260 (including PPH) anywhere in Australia.

If interested please send PM only

Thank you for looking at my listing

Am interested in buying the EP. Could you please call me on 0434-376-212 to discuss? Please note that I live in WA and am two hours time zone wise behind the east coast.


Regards,

Giovanni.

G'day Giovanni. Hope you're enjoying IIS so far. For a better experience in the long run, and if you'll permit me, I'd like to give some advice ...

It's never a good idea to put your phone number (or address for that matter) on a forum. While 99.9% of people are decent, the 0.1% of people who aren't still adds up to a large number. There are other opinions, but I've heard too many horror stories to change mine. I learned it the hard way a long time ago.

Also, IMHO, it's not fair to ask the seller to call at long distance and mobile rates to discuss the matter - that could add up to $$$ depending on his phone plan. He may call, but I know I wouldn't.

There are quite a few reviews and comparisons for this item online - if you haven't already, google "Baader Hyperion 8-24 zoom review" - you'll get plenty of hits.

Good luck with acquiring the eyepiece.

Curiously, quite a few of the local astro shops are sold out of these MK-III Baader zooms with some sort of back-order waiting list available at the moment.

So, if you are looking to save money on a new one which is available right now...
