[filmscanners] Minolta Scan Multi Pro "Grain/ICE Test"!

["david/lisa soderman" <scapes@wi.net>]

Howdy, list folk:

There's been a bit of discussion on film grain and the use of ICE.

Recently, I bought a Minolta Scan Multi Pro.  (I had a Nikon 8000ED but
exchanged it for the Minolta). I made a few scans with the Scan Multi Pro.
"With ICE" and "Without ICE" versions.  6x6 color negative. (Kodak Portra
160NC)

I've just put these scans up on a webpage.  Thought maybe I'd
"kill-two-birds-with-one-stone".  These scans might be helpful to folks who
are interested in how this unit does with color negatives.

Secondly, I would appreciate your feedback on how the Minolta scans look re:
grain.  To me, they seem more grainy than the Nikon 8000ED.  Am I being
overly critical?  Do they seem normal for 3200 ppi?
The unit is basically brand new.  Just trying to decide whether to keep it -
or sell it.

Thanks for your input.
