That is rare.
Something turned up at Stellafane one year (1990?).
It was a Zeiss 70mm achromat, around f7. The guy sold
it to a friend for about $100. I looked though it, definition
was of course excellent. I don't remember Zeiss ever having offered
a 70mm scope in any ads. The only small scopes I remember were the
63mm teaching refactors.
