Re: [APML] Film Scanners

Hi Ulrich,

I've also gone from a SS35+ to a Minolta Scan Dual IV. I'm happy with
the Minolta thus far - it's certainly giving me much better results that
the SS35. I wrote a small writeup on the Scan Dual IV on this list a few
months ago. You might want to search through the archives to find it.

Cheers,
Craig.
