thanks Julian n Daniel.
it seems XCF = Xtra large Central Focusing and PCF = Porro prism Center Focusing (with the internal arm).
yes i always prefer good second hand at 50-70% of new (non ripoff) price, but for binoculars i am wary unless through a site such as IIS where there is ethical obligations around quality, . . and youse fellas juz don't seem to sell 'em?
i think with the AUD$ v US$ fallen and ?falling it may not be so cheap to buy from US n maybe some stock already in Australia might be the bargain?
i think i need WP but perhaps not shock proof for the xtra $ as long as it can be re-collimated in the event of a not too disastrous disaster.
others will have a different balance so all good infoo, thanks again, Lindon
