(Not to be confused with the later LEICA 7 x 42 Trinovid BA.)  It is listed at about 28 feet in the Leitz literature.  (See threads #3 & #7 above)  In reality it's close focus is under 15 feet.  My Leica 7 x 42 Trinovid BN's close focus is listed at about 11 feet.  In reality it is also closer.   See here for comparisons between the LEICA BA and BN versions.<a href="http://www.company7.com/leica/news.html#1September2000" target="_blank">http://www.company7.com/leica/news.html#1September2000</a></blockquote>
