You can improve the close focus distance with a diopter filter. I handhold a +5 B+W in front of my RX100. They're $25.

Improve 'close focus" distance by how much? A couple inches? IMHO still too short for other than static subjects.

... I don't understand your response. A "couple inches" is a lot in close up photography.

Plus the OP noted "Quality Macro capability required"; diopter filter not:-| going to help with a lens soft corners, may make worst.

I never claimed it was equal to a macro lens. You pointed out close focus as a deficiency of 1" sensor cameras, and I'm offering a workaround to improve it...

Sorry IMO not much of a workaround ... as I clearly noted for use "for other than STATIC subjects". I first played around with various close-up filters over 30 years ago.

Well, no need to trouble yourself with me anymore then, since you know it all. Clearly there's only one way to accomplish any task, and that's your way.
