I notice no difference in focus between film formats with mine using Minolta software (1.0). If you'll document the steps and settings you are using, I'll try to reproduce your problem on my Multi Pro with Minolta and VueScan. I am using a PC, however.
Please note: How are your Minolta Scan preferences set: Auto Expose for Slides? Auto Focus at Scan? What other settings are you using for your scans? In Prescan, are you using "auto focus" and/or "adjust focus manually?" If either or both, what area and image characteristics are you targeting (i.e., edge or center of frame, detailed subject vs. low contrast)? What kind of film in 35mm and medium-format? What is the manifestation of "wrong" medium-format focus? Regarding your red scans, there is a known problem with a blue cast under a specific set of conditions: scanning 24x65mm color negs in the multi-format holder. Like your red cast, this occurs in Minolta Scan but not in VueScan. Denis M.

However, I have a problem. Using the Minolta scan software or Vuescan I get excellent 35mm scans with excellent focus. However, when I try to scan 6X6 medium format film the focus is always completely wrong, with both Vuescan and the Minolta software. I have version 7.5.10 of Vuescan and 1.0.2 of the Minolta software (which is the latest release). I am running on a Mac G4. Has anyone else had this problem or know what the resolution is? Also, does anyone else find that the Scan Multi Pro produces very red scans that have to be adjusted when using the Minolta software. This problem does not exist with Vuescan (excellent as always Ed, if you're listening). Thanks for any help.
