Prices listed are for Schott Supremax premium borosilicate glass which is cast, annealed and machined in-house. All mirrors are finished and documented by Carl Zambuto and coated and center-spotted in-house at the ZOC facility. Each mirror is custom made to order which includes custom focal lengths of any specification within range. Our focal length tolerance is +/- 1/4 inch, and can be made tighter if needed in a special situation.

As of October 6, 2018 a price increase of approx 7% has been applied. Last increase was April 2014 (4-1/2 years prior). Quartz upgrade pricing remains the same.

Our current lead time has recently grown to 12 months approximate. This is largely due to the influx of orders prior to our new pricing. We hope to get it back down to 8-10 months at some point in 2019.

A 50% deposit places an order and begins the lead time. When the mirror is completed and goes to our lab for coating, the balance is due. Contact us for more details and payment options.

Shipping costs- We ship at the lowest possible rates, at actual cost to us for both foreign and domestic shipping. We use the US Postal Service for international shipment. Mirrors are shipped using Priority Mail International, which is less than half the cost of UPS Worldship, and when the value is above $2,500.00 we use Priority Express International, still at substanstial savings. The size limit for this service depends on destination, as width and girth limits vary by country. Larger sizes are shipped Global Express Guaranteed which is still less cost than UPS. But in every case, Zambuto Optical buys the insurance for you. There are no added insurance fees to ship internationally, only the lowest possible rate to get you your mirror.
