Birders
love close focus. We often study birds up close, and when birds
aren't available many of us watch butterflies. The closer a
binocular focuses, the better we like it.
 However,
close focus is not a cut-and-dried matter. Close focus varies
from person to person through binoculars just as it does with
the naked eye. So the distance that the manufacturer quotes
is at best a guideline. To determine true close focus, you have
to try the binoculars with your own eyes.
Examples
of close focusing binoculars are:
Alpen
Apex
Audubon Equinox
Audubon Equinox HP
Brunton Epoch
Celestron Noble
Eagle Optics Ranger SRT
Pentax DCF SP
Pentax Papilio (3 feet!)
Vortex Viper
Zeiss T* FL
All
of these focus closer than 7 feet.
