Digital BW, The Print

Hi Don,

I have the Minolta Scan Dual III, however, I don't have now or ever had any other 35mm film scanner so I really can't compare it to anything. Sorry.

I will say, though, that it produces sharper scans than my Epson Expression 1680 flatbed. No surprise there, I guess. I bought the Dual III mainly because of the price. I don't scan much 35mm so, for the price (I paid $279), I thought it a very good bargin. Overall, I have been happy with the results from this scanner. Of course, I'm not trying to produce exhibition prints, either.

Hope this helps.

Alan Huntley
