Yes, it CAN, but that depends on a lot of things... I've seen other Minolta scanners that are 3200 optical resolution, not give better than 2400...so I've been skeptical of stated resolutions by Minolta. Specifically, Minolta. Other manufacturers don't seem to have as much of an issue with this...why, I haven't explored yet. > One caveat: Minolta customer service in the US really sucks. I'm bummed to hear that...and sorry to hear of your problem with their service. I'd love to see some full resolution scans from it! Are there any on-line comparisons of it vs the Nikon vs the Polaroid? Regards, Austin - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
