To own an alpha, or near alpha, and to only use it to ''look at birds'' is just a waste of money...
Eeek! :eek!: Nonsense! Observing birds perching, flying and interacting, with my Swift 804ED is enormously more enjoyable than with lesser quality bins. In fact, my increased appreciation for the beauty of even common starlings and crows improved so much that I revisited my life list again starting around 2005. With the best binoculars no bird is insignificant.
