I have been waiting and waiting to decide on a MF scanner and would really
like to hear veteran MultiPro users opinions on this new software. The grain
aliasing was one of the biggest complaints and if it has been reduced to
match that of the LS-8000 then I might just jump on the Minolta. Obviously
I'd also like to hear opinions specifically on the B&W scanning capabilities.

Bo, I seem to remember you created a mailing list for Multi Pro users. Can
you remind me where it is so I can lurk for a while to see user reaction to
the new software?

Thanks,

Tony Terlecki
