Hi guys,

getting out of lurking mode, 'cause I need some help from you. I want 
to buy a Konica Minolta dual scan IV, but because of Sony it is 
getting more difficult. In Europe the online shops where I find it 
are in German language which I don't understand except the price 
(288€). Is there anyone in Europe who wants to get ride of one of 
those scanners still in good shape? Any other suggestion? I still 
shoot film 'cause am waiting for the digital sister/brother of my 
beloved MZ-S, but I would like to post more often some pictures and I 
don't like the digital scanning that shops in my neighbourhood do 
from 35 mm film. It's to much automatic for me. The other thing is a 
FA 24-90/3,5-4,5. Aiming high hã?! I am just asking so why not.

Thanks for all the help you can give,


Manuel, I can't help you with the scanner, but KEH 
(http://www.keh.com) has a couple of used FA24-90 zooms in excellent 
condition for sale currently.  At USD 339 they aren't cheap. but the 
good stuff seldom is...


Regards, Jim





Thanks Jim, I'll go to KEH, the only problem is customs here in Portugal

I paid $400 a year ago for mine, so $339 is a definite improvement.  
One sold on Ebay two weeks ago for $360.00.
