Bushnell Fusion 1 Mile ARC 12x Rangefinding Binocular Review

I see. I misunderstood. Glass is glass though. RF binos or not. Leica, Zeiss and Swarovski make RF binos using their top tier model glass and the image is every bit as good as their model equivalent non-RF binos. So the image quality of RF binos to non-RF binos is not apples and oranges.

Again, not quite. You're right, glass is glass. However, rf binos vs non rf binos are still comparing two different animals. Lets say $1000. You pay $1000 for RF binos. For that $1000, you're getting the glass, the laser technology, the ballistic data, the inclinometer, and all of the R&D it took to make it all work. On the flip side, if you pay $1000 for non rf binos, you don't have all of the other stuff eating up a large part of the cost which allows the manufacturer to use much better glass. It's no different than comparing fixed vs variable powered scopes. In any given price range, the fixed power will have better glass than their variable powered counterparts.

So what this all means is that you can buy non rf binos and spend less to get more in the way of glass clarity, or you can spend the same as a rf bino and get substantially better glass. But either way, it's still comparing apples to oranges.
