No. It should be expensive. And the primary reasons that it is three
times the money are its purported higher 35 mm resolution - AND the fact
that it can also scan 120. The 35-120 scanners are MUCH more expensive
than the 35 only scanners. Ted, as a 35 guy, doesn't need a multi-format
scanner.

Isn't the Minolta almost 3x more money than the  Polaroid?  It should be
dynamite.
