Torben:
At the present time Epoch Instruments is not in business.
Therefore there are no new Epoch Schmidt cameras.
Before Epoch's demise, the 8 inch f 1.5 was priced at $3200.00.
The older Celestron 8 inch Schmidt's sold anywhere from $1500 to $2500.
If they had been upgraded by Epoch (cast spider, new mirror mount, handpicked 
film holders $500) they would bring more.
