I have the Minolta, and would be happy to participate in such a comparison.

It sounds like you're confusing chrome and neg scan capability using CCD
scanners. Seeing all the dynamic range in color neg shadows is cake for
nearly any scanner, as this is the part of the film with least density above
film base plus fog.
I will disagree with your assessment of the LS-30 and
Good points you raise. I always get my 35mm slides unmounted and I mount

The only place around here where I can see an Epson 2450 is CompUSA
