last time I went to cabelas I looked at the fusions the first time I looked through them without even comparing them to the leicas I knew they sucked. if you can't see this the moment you put them to your eyes there is something wrong with you. it was that obvious it was that apparent. like I said the columbia timberlines that doug is selling for $59 bucks MIGHT be better optically.
Interestingly enough, I've compared the Timberline side-by-side with the Viper a couple of times, and they are pretty much a tie. Same with the Fusion glass. Pretty much a dead tie with the other two.
It should be obvious that the Fusion glass won't be as good as the Leica glass. It also costs $1000 less. I don't see a problem.
