Zeiss ZAO II

Whats the value of these eyepiece in oz at the moment. Complete and boxed?
Are there any examples in the country. I would think the number would be limited and if one comes up for sale here in oz would command a higher than normal price.

Yes iv search for info but it's mainly based on cn forum. I'm just surprised that these ep's have stay relatively low in price considering what they are. Still their not cheap but not that more then when they were released.

I'm sure some more knowledgeable folk will chime in, but my take is the ZAOII are 1.25", and the latest reincarnations from Baader Planetarium. They were a re-run if you like of the original Zeiss Abbe Orthos, which were amazingly popular, and crazily expensive.
I have had a few through my hands, but never really stuck with them, too costly for my frugal tastes. I do have a full set of "original" CZJ orthos, the .96 versions. They are lovely, and I use them often.
At the end of the day, they (like anything) are worth what someone will pay for them.
