I forgot to mention this before. There is a filmscanners mailing list
that a number of the Zuikoholics on this list subscribe to. Go to
http://www.halftone.co.uk for instructions on how to sub*scribe. The
people on the list are great and there is a huge amount of knowledge
there if you're like me - just getting started in scanning.
I've gotten to a point where my scans using the Minolta with Vuescan and
Photoshop look better to me than automated prints from Kodak or Fuji. Not
so much as far as grain because the Minolta is only 2400 DPI, but skin
tones, shadow/highlight detail etc.
The time you spend learning Vuescan and Photoshop will be worth it in
the long run. There're the same tools you'll use if you ever get a
better scanner.
