I have a V700 and the first model Minolta 5400. The Epson is by far the best flatbed I've ever owned (after a Duoscan T1200, an Epson 1640, a 2450 and a 3200) or tried (as in: ordered and returned for lack of an improvement over the 3200 that would justify the expense, i.e. the Epson 4870, 4990 and Canon 9900). Still, with 35 mm the Minolta runs circles around it resolution-wise. So, I use the 5400 for 35 mm and the V700 for everything above from 24 x 58 mm (Horizon) to 6 x 17 cm. BTW, the Epson really shines with Vuescan and multi-exposure set to 8. Ralf -- Ralf R.
