Digital BW, The Print

As I recall, the 5400 was only for 35mm film.  The Minolta Dimage Scan Multi Pro is the scanner that works from 8 or 16 mm to 6X9.
I still have mine, hardly used, complete with Scanhancer additions which indeed works to decrease grain and artifacts considerably. I'm 
considering selling it because I no longer have the time to scan film myself. For whatever it's worth, I'd rented a Nikon 9000 scanner to 
make comparisons, and found the Minolta scans more to my liking. For 35mm, the optical resolution is 4800 ppi (without upsizing).
My understanding is that  parts are still available - in particular - bulbs, although the last I read, they come from Australia. The Scanhancer
site is run by Eric, and he is very knowledgable about Multi Pro  details. (www.scanhancer.com).

If anyone is interested in purchasing my Multi Pro, kindly contact me off line. I'm located in NYC - if you're near by, you could come and try it out.
Otherwise, it will go on eBay in the next few weeks. 

Regards,

Clayton Price

The 5400 was the best model of the Minolta range...
