First regret was a Trinovid BCA 8x20 in the green and black. I chopped it in for an Ultravid 8x20, but never really preferred the Ultravid.... the Trinovid 'felt' better.
I sold a Nikon 8x30 Porro to a friend because he really wanted it, and kept picking it up. I really wanted it too, which is why I bought it, but somehow got duped into selling it to him.... idiot!!!
A Nikon 10x42se.... huge mistake letting that one go, I sold it for a camera lens.... which itself is long gone.
I may end up regretting the CL8x25 I just sold.
It wasn't really working for me when paddleboarding.... not great one handed, and I had to keep putting the paddle under my arm, to use 2 hands.
That combined with wanting to scratch the BN itch has seen that one go.... But I really rate the CL8x25.
I'm not a hoarder of anything, so I sell stuff too easily.
These are just the ones I remember, I've been into optics since 16, i'm now 54.
Oh, and my very first pair of binos I saved all my pocket money for....I was so excited.... don't even know what they were, porros of some sort.... but I wish I had them to give to my lad.... But they went too!!
My new BN's will be STAYING.... i've learned my lesson.
Maybe i'll think about swapping the Meostars out for a Habicht... but that could be a big mistake.... Meostars rock!!
