Has anyone actually used this scanner?  I heard about it quite a while ago,
but no one in any of the lists I am on has stepped up has admitted to having
one...which very much surprises me, given the specs of this unit.  People
seem to buy the Nikon and Polariod units...

BTW, Gilbert, where do you get the 3200 figure for 120 from?  The Minolta
spec sheet on their web site says:

"120/220 film: : 4,800 (by interpolation) x 4,800 dpi "

It does say the sensor is 7,260...which would fit your 3200 number (2.25 x
3200 = 7200...), so my guess is you're probably right.  To get 4800, the
scanner would have to change the magnification...it's not quite clear from
their specification sheet exactly what they do.

Regards,

Austin
