Re: Scanning cine film

2003-11-25 by Barrett Benton

In fact, Minolta used to make a 16mm film holder for one of their 
older 35mm film scanners (QuickScan 35/35 Plus), and I *think* 
they make (or made) one for their multi-format film scanner 
series. They don't make one for the 5400, but technically there's 
nothing stopping them from doing so, as far as I can tell.
