HOLA NATHAN!

Thanks for participate on my questions. I agree your opinion, but I'm still
undecided.

I've read that Minolta is the better choice, but which one 5400 or 5400 II?,
on the other hand is Nikon 5000 IV ED...?, I should go to a shop and do some
trials and I have never the time. Any opinion on the LUG?

Saludos cordiales,
Luis

Hola Luis,

I think the colours in these images look fine, although since I am
looking at them on a laptop screen, this is not the most reliable test.
But as Slobodan noted, the images are very soft. Given how sunny it was
in Perpignan, I do not think it is camera shake--I suspect your scanner
is letting you down.

If I were you, I would buy a good film scanner. Right now they are very
cheap, since not many people are buying them these days. I paid
somewhere between 1500 and 2000 Euro for my Nikon LS-2000 back in 1998.
Today you can buy a better scanner than that for 500 EUR.

Saludos cordiales,
Nathan
