Dear Ian, Because of the much discussed 'focus issue' with the Nikon scanner I was ready to change to the Minolta Multi Pro. I had both running alongside each other for a few weeks and tested them very thoroughly. While there were some things I liked about the Minolta, I can state categorically that the Nikon was superior in colour and tonality, with less noise/artefacts, and gave a truer and more natural'look' which I much preferred. I was running Nikon Scan with the Nikon and Minoltas' software with the Minolta. The glass film holder still produced some Newton rings, just as the Nikon one had done and as far as I can remember the depth of field issues were very similar. However, I am now more used to working around this focus problem and have never had a scan rejected by any client, fellow photographer or stock library. I am very tempted to try the 5400 though, seems a bargain :) Cheers, Mark. =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
