[filmscanners] Re: How does Minolta Scan Dual 2 compare with Nikon LS-30?
Many of my films are old and scratched through poor processing labs, so I have found Digital Ice (and Vuescan's IR-channel dust & scratch removal) invaluable.

Further to my earlier post about the Nikon, I have also seen a Minolta scan dual 2 being sold secondhand, how does this compare? As I am in the UK our prices are somewhat more expensive, so what should I expect to pay for this Minolta. I understand that it has no Digital Ice, but does this make a lot of difference?

I would definitely go for the Nikon, even if it's just for UNIX driver support (Minolta hasn't released any specs, so there is no driver). Also, if I remember correctly, the Minolta has no automatic film strip feeder, which is a feature to die for unless you have mounted slides to scan exclusively. The lack of ICE is not a big deal since the Minolta uses a Xenon lamp whereas all Nikons have highly collimated LED sources. Only the latter really requires ICE because it exaggerates defects like dust. ICE doesn't work on B&W and Kodachrome anyway.
