Almost mint Swift Audubon HR5, it was advertised as used once at a safari park then stored. Probably true as there were a few dry grass ears caught in the rubber eye cups. So almost nicely treated as apart from being left in the grass it also must have been stored somewhere a little damp as the case smelled musty and there was a condensation mark inside the right tube, but a couple of hours in the airing cupboard got rid of that mark. They are mint apart from a couple of tiny marks to the ocular coatings (maybe from the dried grass) which does not seem to affect the view, these are the fully multi coated version and very impressive to use, they must be quite close to being the best porro I have, up there with the Zeiss Oberkochen. The only little thing I can find as a negative is that I have to position my eyes absolutely correctly when viewing or I get little black outs at the edge, but the Zeiss Oberkochen is similar in that respect as are many other 8x porro,s. Top notch binocular, not sure what these go for, I happily gave just over £100 as you don't get the FMC come up to often, but no idea if that is good.
