I must say the if you look at the images scanned using the Multi Pro in the
Imaging Resources review, they look superb.  Also, there is a scan of a
black train done using the LS 8000 and the Multi Pro for side by side
comparison.  The Minolta looks by far the better scan, and if you put them
both into Photoshop and sharpen them to the same degree, the Multi Pro image
sharpens the best of the two.  The LS 8000 also show flare in the scan that
is not present in the Multi Pro scan.

Yes. The Minolta is an excellent _35mm_ scanner. But compare the resolution
chart tests for medium format. It looks to me that the Nikon is the better
MF scanner. (This is, of course, consistent with the advertised performance
of the devices<g>.)
