It's practically infinite. The Q lens equates to a 10mm focal length for 35mm or full frame DSLRs and is working on a much sampler sensor. Both will impact depth of field to the point that you almost need to be in physical contact with the lens to be out of focus.

Thank you.

I need to be able to focus down to a distance of about 6 inches from the front of the camera lens.

You'd need to test to verify that distance. It may be fuzzy since these are really meant to work at a distance.
