it took me years to figure out what i really like, birds or bins, it seems if you are not really into birding but just like to try it out, the interest in bins will wear off sooner or later, so, after ten years fiddling with over a dozen of alpha bins, I found out I actually loved glass in the begining, but now I love neither, without birding to fuel binoholic enthusiasm, it simply dissipates, just a matter of time, somtimes years, unless you are a collector of some kind, such as antique bins with a room filled with hundreds of bins from WWII.
