Thanks for the replys, keep 'em models coming if you remember more. Seems that no Canon has one, is it really true?

Which camera bodies have fully electronic shutter?

I'm sorry if this has already been covered, but really couldn't find any signs of that.

Macro- and micro-related, which camera bodies have this fully electronic shutter? Many have EFCS, but it is just Electronic First Curtain Shutter, I'm after the good stuff, the real thing.

If money isn't tight, I'd recommend to check out the Dell UltraSharp UP2716D, 27" monitor, Adobe RGB, 2560x1440, factory calibrated. I'm very happy with mine, this is my second UltraSharp Dell 27", I had earlier version before.

I missed the post from rolsen about converting to Pentax M42, and using macro bellows or rings. With a set up like this does the camera assembly need a rail to move the entire unit for focus steps? Yes, some kind of rail is needed to move the whole setup. Here's a sample of my Canon with bellows an...

Many members of this site have shown excellent images made with the LOMO 3.7x NA 0.11 microscope objective. It is avaiable for around $50 and since it is finite corrected, you just need a set of bellows and an RMS adapter to be ready for work. Lomo 3,7x is a cheap gem one should definitely have whi...

Some have used Microsoft ICE in their Windows-based computers with quite good results. Zero cost, worth a try maybe.

Feel free to add Sweden to the list. 24.something% sales tax and a fixed fee of about 7€ (both non-refundable if the package is lost, which it often happens) are tacked by Swedish Mail to anything coming from outside the EU. Some EU sellers automatically add the 24.something% tax to the invoice for...
