Hi Luke,

I have experience with one, the Minolta Scan Dual II.

Pro:

good�(epecially when used with the excellent Vuescan driver). The 
difference between what I've gotten from my negs and slides is 
astounding when compared to what minilabs give me.

cheap�($300 US)


Cons:

lack of speed�may be par for the course, I don't know

dust�with as much dust as this thing hoovers in, you'd think the rest of 
the house would be spotless

cheap�mine died before a year was out, the film holders always made a 
horrible clattering noise when being sucked into the machine

hth,

Dan Scott
