Subject: [Leica] Minolta Dimage film scanner

Hello Luggers:

Has any of you any experience with the Minolta Dimage Scan Dual (film scanner)?
I'm considering the possibility of getting one in the future for personal
use, intended for use with an Epson Stylus Photo 700 inkjet printer (any
comments on this one also appreciated). My idea is to print not bigger than
A4 size.
Are the results good enough for wall display? What about colour fading with
time?

I read a recent article in a UK magazine (maybe Digital FX), and it
received good critics, at least in the 400 GBP price group. I've heard the
Nikon Coolscans are better, but I prefer to save my money for M lenses! :)
, if quality is enough.

Any comments will be appreciated.

Regards,
