I have a Minolta Speed Scan which I bought before the Elite was remaindered. How much better is the Elite SCSI than the Speed Scan apart from the dust removal feature? I have Vuescan but have not so far been able to get it to work as well as the Minolta plug-in especially on dense

I'm thinking of buying one of these secondhand. This would be my first film scanner. What would be the maximum price I should pay for one and what is the quality like? The LS-30 is pretty decent as far as optical quality is concerned. I wouldn't pay more than $300 for it second-hand, though,

Is the glass replaceable? Anti-Newton ring glass does exist. Darkroom enthusiasts often use it when they sandwich their negatives between glass in enlarger negative carriers. Brian -- respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original

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

Topic: Minolta Elite scsi I don't think there is much difference between the Elite and the Scan Speed. at least from my experience with the scan speed and seeing other people's scans with the Elite. It boils down to practice. There is so much more noise in the shadows of minolta's plug in

I am and have been entirely satisfied with mine, and I primarily use Vuescan with it. I paid $500 for a refurb before the new batch came out, so Major Andras's suggestion of $300 tops sounds about right. I have not had problems with the film strip feeder, but then I've scanned no more than

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. Maris - Original Message - From: Julian [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 27, 2002 4:02 PM Subject:

Many manufacturers of glass slide mounts make anti-newton ring glass. If you can get a few sample slide mounts, that is all you need. Gepe is a good brand. These work well in the Polaroid scanners. If you are familiar with a focomat enlarger, try to duplicate what they are doing. Otherwise,

The cause of Newton Rings is when a space is created between two finely polished or glossy surfaces that is a very small space equal to or a small multiple of white light wavelengths, which then cause interference colors via the reflection between the surfaces. The best way to avoid them

Hi Andre, I've not been ignoring you. I wanted to contact someone off-list who had a FS4000 to see if he might wish to comment, I left it with him. I have only reviewed scans from this scanner, not having used it. I would expect from the result I saw that the SS4000 was less noisy than the FS

The Minolta Dual Scan II uses a six frame film carrier, and a four frame slide carrier. The slide carrier is a bit of a kludge, in my opinion. Regarding dICE, I own the Minolta Scanner in question, and I would say it would be very nice if it did have dICE. Although it isn't quite as bad as the
