I have had it about three weeks but am in the middle of organising a renovation of our new house. I have only run about eight rolls though it so far. I am on a steep learning curve getting things like manual exposure to work the way I want it to. It is small, works right out of the box and with great support from Minolta Canada (had to reinitialise it once). The scanner has this endearing habit of losing its place occasionally; you can almost hear the machine say, "Oh S**t", while it backs up to its reference point. So far I am only scanning Tri-X so there are no great demands on its performance but I will run a couple of slides through soon and let you know. I find the digital scanning to be much easier than the darkroom and my little tyke can wander in and out as he pleases. My only disappointment is that VueScan will not be updated to work with USB devices on the Mac. Darn, VueScan would have allowed multiple scans to increase the D-max. Having said that, the Photoshop plug-in software works well and I have never had to bang my, or its, head against the wall.
