Minolta's new Pro scanner
2001-10-25 by frank@culturalvisions.com
I'm about to order the new medium format scanner offered by Minolta. It just got shipped this week. B&H has them in stock for $3500 and Sparco says they should be in today for $2800. Many of you probably know the basics about its 4800 dpi for 35mm and 3200 dpi for 120mm. I want to know if anyone has had a "hands on" experience with it. I don't want to sit on the Nikon 8000 waiting list for several months although the scanner sounds great if one can actually get one. Martin sent me good feedback on the Polaroid SS120, but I don't like buying into a Chapter 11 company. Anybody have any comments on the Minolta offering? Frank http://www.culturalvisions.com
