I have decided upon the BH2 with help from everyone here. The websites that were linked were excellent by the way. I was just wondering if this appears to be a good deal.

I understand it has leitz objectives but over time i can upgrade slowly.
Thank you all again for such fast and helpful advice.
Good deal?

I would pass on the "Buy it now" price.
You have mismatched objectives (2 Leica and one Olympus). It has American Optical eyepieces... which would not really provide the proper chromatic correction for any of the objectives. And I would want to know what the tape is doing over the field lens on the base unit (maybe nothing, but also maybe holding something together that shouldn't be loose. )
