Hi,
Which brand are you looking at?? Every brand got their own coding...

For example, the below is the coding use by Swift Binoculars:
1) Z: Two-piece body
2) B: single-piece body
3) W: Wide Angle
4) H: Roof Prism
5) CF: Center Focus
6) IF: Individual Focus

The below coding are use by Nikon Binoculars:
1)D: Roof (Dach) Prism
2)WP: Waterproof
3)CF: Central Focusing
4)IF: Individual Focusing
5)RA: Rubber Armoured
6)WF: Wide Field of view
7)HP: High eyepoint

Have a nice day.

Hi Gary

Perhaps ZWCF could stand for Zoom, Wide (Field), Central Focus.

You can also check with that particular brand website/catalogue or ask the dealer that stock that bino.

I hope this helps...
