I have a feeling, James, that you had a duff Minolta 5400. The only
snags that I have had have been self-induced, e.g. wrong settings in
Vuescan or failing to move the AF spot to somewhere with a decent
line and contrast. I am not a very discerning individual (with scans
at least ;-)) but I have never seen noise (from your previous post)
or flare in my scans. I have found grain, certainly, but noise or
flare? It is possible that you and I use different films and suffer
from different scanning problems as a result ...
I remain happy that I have the Mk I 5400, even though the writeups
and characteristics of the Mk II make it attractive. I am sure that
N*kon would make me quite happy (:-)), but I will splash out on
another DSLR rather than worry about it greatly.
