Cheryls Dad bought them overseas 15 - 20 years ago and they are made in Japan. Cheryls Mum said he paid around $500 for them. He didn't care about the price as the police (he was a cop) reimbursed him anyway.

Ken,
No need for any apology. What your saying makes a lot of sense as the price of mid level binoculars has dropped remarkably in the last 20 years and the quality has increased by about the same amount. 20 years ago $500 bought you a "fair" pair of binoculars and now $400 will buy you a much better pair by comparison so its all good.
