FeraDyne Outdoors [feradyne.com] (who makes/brands these binoculars) marked them down from $499.99 to $129.99 on their website in recent months, but they're now out of stock (so this could be a discontinued product).
Features:
- High quality ED (Extra-Low dispersion) Glass and BAK-4 phase-corrected dielectric coated roof prisms to minimize diffraction
- Diamond Bright multicoating for maximum light transmission, glare reduction and scratch-resistance
- Waterproof, fog proof and shock resistant
- Includes: Binoculars, semi-hard case with strap, neck strap, eye cups, lens cloth and instructions
- Size 5.35"x 5"x 2.2″
- Weight 23.5 oz. (weights listed are binocular only, no eye cups)
These have an 8x magnification and 42mm objective lenses (8x42). While the features don't mention eye relief, minimum focus, or the field of view, you can get that info from the
PDF manual [feradyne.com] on the FeraDyne Outdoors website, where they show 18mm of eye relief, 2 yards (6 ft) minimum focus, and an FOV of 408 ft at 1,000 yards (which works out to 7.7 degrees, good for a 8x42 roof prism pair of binoculars).

Fine. Fair. It's out of production. This is about the best price available. It sounds like the glass is pretty good quality. Let's not pretend it was ever worth $500.
