Lunt Solar Systems, on its own published figures
Lunt Solar Systems builds instruments that do one thing: show the sun in the narrow red line of hydrogen alpha, where prominences stand off the limb and the surface breaks into texture. Its cheapest printed instrument is $995.00 for 40mm of aperture, which is the most expensive entry price in this index and the cheapest way into that view.

Why 40mm costs $995 here and $80 elsewhere
A white-light filter passes a sliver of ordinary sunlight and shows sunspots. A hydrogen alpha telescope isolates a band a fraction of a nanometre wide, which needs an etalon, a blocking filter and a tuning mechanism, and those cost far more than the objective in front of them. The aperture figure is therefore almost irrelevant to the price.
The aperture is published because the product name prints it: the instrument is named a 40mm dedicated hydrogen alpha solar telescope, so the figure is quoted from the page rather than inferred from a catalogue number.
