My apologies for getting this wrong, but after guidance from Ian Mckerchar I've discovered that this is the Avian F model, not the DCF. However, they do not have the new magnesium body.
Sorry about that everyone.

Which I should point out makes them optically very good indeed (newer magnesium model or not) and one of the best sub £400 binoculars available.

Yes, according to the literature they are DCF's.

Just to clarify John, are these the Avian F's?

Purchased in May 2007 from Pennie Photographic and Binocular Centre.
These binoculars have been well looked after and are in extremely good condition with no sctratches and come complete with box, carry case, original receipt and ten year warranty. The optical quality is excellent for the price. A similar pair today would cost around £370 new.
Specification:
Weight 635g Field of view 7.5 Exit Pupil 4mm Eye Relief 15.5mm Phase Coated BaK4 Prisms
These binoculars belong to my wife who has now upgraded to a pair of Swarovski CL's. We are asking £90 for the Avians.
Anyone interested can either call me on 01925 755 766 or mobile 07833432816 or send me a PM.
