Hey, great that you got a good scanner. just curious: why did you choose
the Minolta? Did you consider others?
I did consider other scanners but this one seemed to be the most cost-effective for my requirements. My decision was based mainly on reading reviews on the web which seemed to be pretty enthusiastic. Generally speaking most of these desktop MF scanners (Nikon/Minolta/Polaroid) seem to be roughly equal in performance.
I'm also considering ordering the multi-format set but from what I've read it might not be worth the money. I might see what I can do with the glass 120 holder and a bit of black-paper for masking. This is essentially all that the Minolta set does.
I also wouldn't mind trying a Scanhancer... has anyone here used it? I just read a review that had plenty of sample images and it seems like quite a good buy. Especially as I've really noticed the Fuji pepper-grain effect :(
