Anyone interested in a Minolta Scan Multi film scanner?
I'm considering selling my Minoltaa Scan Multi film scanner to get one with higher resolution. Its 1125dpi gives me about 6 megapixels from a 6x7 neg and I occasionally want more. It scans 35mm at 2880dpi and I have the optional (as in a $500.00 option!) bulk feeder that lets you load batches of 50 slides at a time. For someone with a lot of slides this could be a good thing. I also have a SCSI-to-FireWire adapter that lets you do without a SCSI card in your computer (provided you have an IEEE1394 connection, of course). Anyway, I haven't made a definite decision about selling it yet but I'm trying to gauge interest. -- Mark Roberts - Photography Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Anyone interested in a Minolta Scan Multi film scanner?
When scanning 645, is it with film strips or do they need to be slide-mounted?

Medium format film must be unmounted. 645 works best in strips of 3 or 4 but 67 work best individually. -- Mark Roberts - Photography Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: Anyone interested in a Minolta Scan Multi film scanner?
I just hooked it up to my laptop and tried it out to make sure everything works. And it all fires up and scans as it should. For the record, the Scan Multi does 35mm at 2820dpi and medium format at 1125dpi. This yields 10-11 megapixels for 35mm (slides lose some area due to the mount) and ~6 megapixels for 6x7 medium format. In addition to the bulk slide feeder I have 3 trays for the scanner: 1 holds a strip of 6 negatives, one holds 4 mounted slides and the third is for MF film. There are no 64-bit drivers available so I've been running my laptop on the 32-bit version of Windows 7. I used VueScan for software and that worked great. I'm including the SCSI-FireWire adapter (http://www.ratocsystems.com/english/products/FR1SX.html) so there's no need for a SCSI card (unless your computer doesn't have a FireSire port) but I'll include my old SCSI card as well (though I have no idea if there are drivers available for it now). After doing some web research I've come to the conclusion that the bulk slide feeder is worth more than the scanner(!) but I think I'll ask $500 (plus shipping) for the whole lot: scanner, bulk feeder, SCSI/FireWire adapter and old SCSI card. ($500 is less than what I paid for the slide bulk feeder alone!) -- Mark Roberts - Photography Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
