Or the new Canoscan 4000? Decent price, not no real user experiences yet?

I Have used the Canoscan with other scanners, but not the Minolta.
I have found using Vuescan with the Canoscan does wonders. Even basic scans
come out with less noise. Do a multi passes or the long exposure pass gives
me great scans - adding shadow detail and getting rid of shadow noise.

Start with the distilled water and cotton buds, cleaning very gently. If the
emulsion is flaking in any way, there isn't much you can do about it.

I've had this happen every now and then - I have found it is more often a

something was interrupted or suchlike. Also did you run test option when

Did you try the
