William I believe that you mean the Scan Multi. The Scan Dual that I have will scan only 35mm and APS (with an adaptor).

However, I would be most chuffed to find that it did scan 6 x 6 or 645...

Greetings,

Over this past summer I purchased the Minolta Dimage Scan Dual, which will scan anything up to 6x9. When scanning medium format images, the scanner realigns the
optics to spread the CCD coverage path to cover the width of the film. This
effectively reduces the scanning resolution to about 1200dpi. While this isn't
extremely high, the optical qualities of the larger film seem to decrease the
output resolution I need. I also use the Genuine Fractals plugin for photoshop
to increase the resolution when it is required. I think the newer version (Dual II) supports some other modes that effectively increase scanning resolution. All
in all, it's a very nice unit for what is a comparatively small pricetag.
