Somebody said something about the Minolta 5400 taking negatives in strips of
four. Actually, the holder takes strips of six. All my B&W stuff, which I
process myself, is in strips of six. Most of the color negatives, though, are
in strips of four. Anyway, if you've got six-negative pieces, don't be put off
by this bit of misinformation. The slide holder takes four at a time. I'm
satisfied with the Minolta, increasingly so after I learned how to use it. The
manual focus can be very useful sometimes, and I actually prefer the Minolta
software to Vuescan. Since I'm not selling either, I have no dog in this
fight, so go with the gut and good luck.
