I've seen some posts that, for some reason, the default on the Minolta
software is to have auto focus switched off!  Also that the manual focus
gave even better results than the auto focus.

I assume that autofocus would be switched on in Vuescan by default but
I don't know whether (or how) manual focus has been implemented in it.
