For an M mount lens, it’s still quite a surprise. I’m not aware of any lens that comes close to that level of performance natively.
As you know Leica has been improving the MFD of many of their lenses with new releases and the new lenses they have introduced have shorter MFDs too. For example the new M mount 35 f/2 APO has an MFD of .3M which is about the same magnification (actually slightly better) as this Thypoch 21 f/1.4. Voigtlander has moved the MFD to .5M on most of their lenses as well, but not the really short distances of the new Thypoch Simera lenses. A short MFD is something and floating elements designs to enhance performance at the short distances is something they all share.
