Hi, Tomek, yes, me. I had to return *two* units due to intolerable shadow banding (see http://schmode.net/banding.jpg and http://schmode.net/banding_new_unit.jpg). And I know of at least two buyers who have experienced the same problems. I have yet to meet a Scan Elite II owner whose unit works properly. And, the Minolta staff did not react in any way to several e-mails and a letter I sent on that issue. My perception is that the Elite II has a widespread flaw in the series which the Minolta staff know about but want to keep it a secret. I strongly recommend not to buy the Elite II unless you can return it because the likeliness to get a defective unit seems to be high. I wrote about the banding issue earlier, so you may want to check the list archive on that.
