To the list:
I second Tomasz Zakrzewski's request for information concerning the Minolta
Scan Multi Pro's performance as a negative scanner. That's what I want to
use it for, and have only seen one user's report that was negative about
its use with negatives. Are there any contravening
You can scan 24 x 65 at 4800 dpi using VueScan on the
Scan Multi Pro. I added the same max resolution mode
as VueScan uses with the Scan Multi (it wll scan
42 x 65 mm at 5800 dpi).

Sounds great, Ed!
Together with Vs, my old HPS20 was a good compromise to learn scanning negs,

The perspective of paying so much Nikon 8000 nightmares, even with ICE, for

When the stepper motor moves less than the optical resolution isn't
that just a software
more
than this one machine.

What optical resolution does offer the Minolta multi software for 24x65
negs?
If low, could the optical system be turned to max (4800dpi) by Vuescan,
like Ed made in the old Minolta MF?

the Minolta claims 4800 dpi with a 7260 pixels per line CCD.
How do they do that?
They move the lens closer to the film when scanning at
4800 dpi. The lens is farther from the film when scanning
at 3200 dpi.

Why would one buy a multi format scanner to get the same
size file regardless of format. I don't understand.
Why should the format of the film define the enlargement size? With a film
scanner that provides resolution proportional to the film format, providing
the film is decent enough
Yes, we're talking about the Minolta Scan Multi Pro. If you dig deep enough
you will find the optical resolution for MF which is 3200 dpi. This should
explain the difference in CCD. In any event, 3200dpi is plenty for a scan
of a 6x7 transparency and the scans are excellent.

Ed,
The stepper motor can actually move at 9600 dpi, which
is evenly divisible by both 4800 and 3200.
Does this mean they are doing something more than what is usually done for
interpolation? Also, I downloaded the trial version of the latest VueScan
and used it with my Minolta DSMP. An odd

No matter how fine the stepper motor is, the CCD can only see at the
resolution of the field-of-view
