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 opinions out there, or
would I be better off scanning my negs with a Polaroid 120?
Thanks.
