Sam, It's gone now. When I saw that it was still there this morning I called my buddy up who is a goldsmith and said you better get it while you can. He bought it immediately. This has got to be the best buy on one I have seen. I was going to get it but I have one and I need another scope like I need a hole in the head. BTW, I think that the leica objective lenses work on zeiss as well and there half the money.
I don't know very much about micsroscopes but that Zeiss looks to have gone for a good price (too much for a beginner though) - Personally, I ordered a Meiji from Christian, top notch service and great advice to boot!
Thanks Chris.
