To the list: I second Tomasz Zakrzewski's request for information concerning the Minolta Scan Multi Pro's performance as a negative scanner. That's what I want to use it for, and have only seen one user's report that was negative about its use with negatives. Are there any contravening opinions out there, or would I be better off scanning my negs with a Polaroid 120?
