[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have a Minolta San Dual II that I picked up used for a lot less than $600 and it does a very nice job with slides and negatives. The optical is 2820 and that seems to be enough for 8x10. I can get very nice 8x10 and 11x14 if I use Genuine Fractals. They look as good as any comercial prints I have had made from the same slides. So, you can get good results for less than $600 if you want to. I think I paid around $300+.
