Equipment - Zeiss

Now here we have a real can of worms.
I got my first Zeiss scope about 10 years ago, a Zeiss Telementor 2. Complete with Zeiss T mount, three Huygens eyepieces, and tripod. At a mere 63mm I used it for a while and then got the fever. I tried selling it but by a stroke of good luck I could not sell it. It wasn't even priced too high. Nobody wanted a 63mm refractor. Boy am I glad I kept it.It has provided the start of a very happy albeit expensive collection.
Since then I have purchased another couple of small Zeiss refractors, an AS63/840 (same sort of scope, but much older) this one also with mount and tripod, and in it's original storage case.
A chance conversation on the internet provided the ability to purchase a rare Zeiss scope the ED80/840. This one in a genuine case, and with finder and a few accessories. It is my understanding that Zeiss considered producing ED scopes, possibly to compete with the influx of cheaper scopes. If I am correct perhaps 10 or so lenses were produced, and then the wheels fell off at Zeiss, and the idea died with the company as we know it. I have seen about three of these scopes come and go in the last couple of years. This one will never leave.
In an effort to control the fever and stay with the marque I located a Zeiss Cassegrain 150/2250. This scope was with finder, and storage case, and in very good condition. After a major exercise in importing it I received it. A thing of beauty, and a cracker on double stars. Heavy, man was it heavy, and it took an age to cool. Once cooled it provided very refractor like images of stellar objects, with outstanding performance on double stars. It has recently travelled to the US where it is now in the possession of another Zeiss afficiando.
