No, I don't think I said that.  I only talked about one or two aspects
of Minolta's problem
with the default autofocus (using their software).   After all, that's
half of the subject
and the half I know at least a little about (having one).  As to it
applying to the Nikon
scanner, I leave others with the Nikon to provide the comparison after
my  mentioning
details in the 5400 and how I get around it.   I'm not attacking the Nikon
as you suggest, I don't have one and don't know enough to say anything
about it.

In any case, although I have used the manual focus knob, I've found it
also useful to
use "autofocus", however I set the focus point on the slide to a more
appropriate
point rather than the default dead-center.
