Paul,
does "only one shot at a time" mean that you will
have to cut all your neg strips? Or is it just that you can only SCAN one at a
time which is not so dramatic given the slower speed of MF scanning and the
incredible amount of data...
Its interesting what you have to say about the
carriers... So do you feel that film flatness is no problem with the Multi
Pro?
Another question: What do you think about the
Minolta and b&w negatives (one strength of the Polaroid 120 as it seems)?
This is what I will do quite a lot on the scanner of my choice... Did you try it
out? How about shadow detail and contrast on these?
Greetings Bernhard

Reflections on edge of neg
Stylistically, I'd call the Minolta boring rather
than ugly but it's made out of metal whereas the Polaroid is at least
partially plastic. The Minolta is also A LOT smaller and quieter than
the Polaroid. Neither effect scan quality but they do make living with
the scanner easier.
Also, the Minolta's non-glass carrier does a better
job with curled film than the Polaroid's due to the way it holds the
film. The downside to the carrier is that you can only scan one shot on
a strip at a time.
Anyway, I'm really happy with the
Minolta.
