 Rating:  - Probably the 2nd best 35mm film scanner, when it works.The best would be the 5400-II... This is my second Minolta 5400 scanner. The first one failed not even three months after purchase.

Minolta suggested it needed repair, right out of the box, that it was a hardware problem!! Good luck. Dissapointed Rating: - Bad newsUnfortunately the scanner was defective. I have sent it to Minolta for repair. Browse for similar items by category:
