My Bolex 280 Macrozoom will focus almost to the surface of the lens... the only issue is that the camera itself starts blocking out light when you shoot so close. On an upcoming shoot I want to do an extreme closeup of an eye, but the lighting may be an issue. I guess I'll try to light it from the side as much as possible...

the 561 is good, love the autoB exposure feature on those cameras, possibilities for really creative shots, but you'll need the button cells for the autoB light meter..
