Richard,
As I understand, Minolta has also the grain disolver feature:

As mentioned on Hotter e-mail before, a different point is why do you scan.
On my case I don't plan to print, I only want improve the quality of the
posted images, for printing I prefer traditional methology (I'm always
referring to B&W).

Saludos cordiales,
Luis

Partly because of that troll, but also, I figure since I spent so much
money on equipments already, if a scanner is better than my LS-4000 at
scanning negatives for the cost of a .... Leica lenscap! (OK I exaggerated
there), I should look into it.
