It has a 3.6 Dmax, 2820 dpi and has a truly intuitive program for a price of between $789 - $839. Since I only shoot 35mm, the Scan Dual made no sense and since getting the Scan Speed a year and a half ago, I have not had a lick of trouble. If I am on a roll, I can get a slide into PS5.5 and saved to disk in two minutes.

Minolta Scan Dual (the Dual II out any moment) is very, very good value around the $500 mark. All of Human Traffic on my site was scanned with this scanner. Limitations are the 3.0 Dmax and the 2400 dpi resolution (though the difference between 2400 and 2700 is marginal). Moving up, the Scan Elite is the next best thing to an LS2000, though nobody in the world seems to use one for some reason. - -- Johnny Deadman http://www.pinkheadedbug.com
