The MVC-FD92 that you have on the website, is that a model you recommend? Are there other models that you can recommend we look at? Also, what do you look for that would tell you that the camera can in fact, focus with in a inch of the lens??? Thanks for your help,

Will the shot copy work with a canon G-2? I have some 55mm close up lenses( 1,2,&3) but I assume I'll have to get some 58mm. What do you recommend -the 1, 2 or 3 or perhaps all three. Also what is the price of your equipment. Ed P.

What this means to you is that you can now easily copy your 35mm slides, negatives and prints with this new macro focus close-up feature.

ShotCopy allows you the flexibility to move up as higher resolution cameras become available in the future - saving you time and money from using devices like flatbed scanners and camera lens extenders that become obsolete when you change out your camera.
