Tak FC-60 (~f/6 w/ reducer) can be found for under US$1,000 
including reducer.  Only 35mm coverage, though.  The Tak
FCT-76 will give you 35mm coverage without a corrector
for around $1,500, but it has been discontinued.

What's kind of funny is that the FC-60 is marketed more
as a guide scope, but is actually a darn good photographic
instrument on its own.  I've done photography with it using a
4" refractor as the guide scope <g>.
