I thought I read long ago that there was a patent taken out in England a short time
before the French government bought the rights to the process and it was
All of the Nikon F series, the Canon F1, and the Topcon had 100% viewfinder
coverage. One of the reason most SLR did not was because registration
(viewfinder/film image coincidence) did not need to be as precise.

The Acer and Canon are SCSI connections and the Minolta is USB. I think I

I think the ranting and raving about the acer slide holder is over blown. I can load
them very quickly and unless I am not watching never have trouble with the little
clips. You DO need to bend the mount slightly the way I load them. I stick the slide
into the bottom left corner catch while
I bought the Minolta Dual Scan II (note not Dual Scan...but the newer
version) about two weeks ago (it is around the same price range as the Canon
FS2710) and I haven't had any problems.
Unfortunately nobody in my area sold the Acer, so for me it was choice
between the Minolta vs. Canon. If you

It sounds to me like the problem with the Minolta is occurring on the Scan
Dual II (please, corrections if I am wrong here!!) I have the original scan
dual, and I had nothing but excellent results with it. I bought it after

While many people do confuse the two, one must be careful not to assume that
the distinctions and uses of the two which exist in one country hold for
another. I made that mistak

If you want to turn on your SCSI device after your computer is already
booted, No problem. Just right click on MY

on REFRESH and then OK. This is for a windows machine. I don't know what you

Hello,
I'm using NikonScan 3 on CS - IV as a plugin inside photoshop and it never
crashes, but I have problems saving cropsettings, It seems that NS is
loosing its settings when I switch to another picture or even when I rotate
the same picture, then I have to load the desired settings again.
