This one from a Ricoh GX-8 at either the widest angle of 6mm f/2.5 (equiv. 28mm), or maybe with the 0.8x wide-angle converter (equiv. 22.5mm). It would close focus until the front element touched the subject, got some dramatic close-ups with it.
Too bad about the circa 2005 1/1.8" sensor....
But seriously, the minimum-focus of the current "serious" compact wide angle lenses such as the E16mm and u4/3 12mm and 14mm lens are all "far from close". I think they are all around 1:10. Not sure what to replace the GX-8 with now (it went for an unintentional swim on river hike earlier this year and could not be resuscitated).
