Canon A1, This is my all time favourite camera but I had to go autofocus due to eye problems.
As you say extreme close up is relatively easy when using an SLR type camera.

When I first went digital 5 -6years ago DSLRs where out of reach of us mere mortals, so I obtained one of the first Minolta dimage cameras to reach these shores.
This had a 28-200mm "fixed" lens so such as tubes and bellows where out of the question, hence the reversed 50mm lens. unfortunately as I discribed above subject distance was zero.

Now with my 100 & 180mm macro lenses + tubes subject distance is no longer a problem.
