If that's a deal-breaker for you then the unfortunate thing is that the Leica M system isn't going to be for you.
If you give it a chance though you'll find that in most scenarios .7m MFD is way closer than you're ever going to need to be for documentary photography (where Leicas are in their prime)Or you can always pick one of these up. You can find them cheap and they are just terrific.
http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y118/airfrogusmc/Close%20Up/L1055144_zpsd3scpyaa.jpgYep that's very true! If you're willing to utilize a bellows system it can be quite a capable platform. Unfortunately not everyone is as willing 
(I am though. I need to get one!)
I am quite happy with the 90 Elmar Macro and the macro adapter, myself. Maybe doesn't get you 1:1 magnification, but it does 1:2 quite nicely and is quite easy to use with the EVF on the M10. For closer focussing I found the macro adapter quite useful. I like it with the 50 cron APO especially which does quite closeup very nice with it.

Here are a few from around the campus at Ohio State. Just got my M10 last week so just beginning to put it through the paces. I am struck by how easy it is to use.

Ok very true. I even use an OUFRO adapter myself to enable closer focus.
BUT!
These are adaptations of the M as a platform, in normal use when you're relying upon the rangefinder the real limitation sets in at .7m MFD, but as I expressed, for the genres of photography where the Leica excels as a tool this is more than sufficient.
The upside of course is that it's quite possible to adapt the platform to allow you to utilize it as you see fit.

Hey guys and gals,
Revisiting some old images. Working on a body of work and this was taken in 2012 in Key West with a borrowed M9 and 35 Lux FLE. Got to try a digital M before buying my original MM thanks to a very good friend and amazing photographer.

Great Allen! Can't wait to see the curated set!
Here's a shot I liked from a roll of Cinestill 800T I shot with the M-A and Zeiss 35mm Distagon.
CINE_800T_10_17_6.jpg by Abram Goglanian, on Flickr
I think the more I ponder my options, right now an M with a 35mm makes the most sense for simplicity. I don't get a ton of time to shoot these days and when I do get to, I don't want to struggle with having too many options to choose from so I'm going to be liquidating a lot of stuff and just focusing on a digital M, my M-A and a 35mm. That way I can just get back to shooting and not worrying about other stuff

Abram first wonderful image. Love the lines and the monochromatic quality. I mean that in the true meaning of monochromatic.
For my personal work it is usually the MM and a 35mm F/L. I might be changing some because i really love the M 10. I have a 75 and 24 because of my pro work but if I did not have to make a living at this I know I would have my MM, M10 and a 35 lens and that would really be it. Simple and in my case more I shoot with a certain F/L the I learn to see at that F/L though 35 has been the way I see on a 135 format for a couple decades.

Thanks Allen! I tend to think and see in black and white but I’ve been trying a bit of color again lately. I am considering getting an M10 if I decide to sell my M240. I’m just trying to decide which 35mm I’ll go with.
I’m quite happy with the Zeiss Distagon but it’s quite large so I’d want to augment it in daytime with the C-Biogon (this is a reasonable option price-wise). Otherwise I’d get another 35 Summicron ASPH or explore getting an FLE 35 but I don’t think that will really get me anything over the Zeiss other than a smaller lens.
Anyways. Lots to think about but I feel good about trying a super simple direction for a while. I think I need it creatively speaking!
