Skip,

Let's hope it works. I had the same hope for the 4870 (and I needed a new 
flatbed anyway), but it failed me. I didn't expect any results from the 35 
end, and wasn't dissapointed. I got a Minolta 5400 for that, and I continues 
to serve me well.

120 and Xpan  were another dissapointent. Although the files were huge, the 
sharpness isn't. Even with the Doug Fisher holders and ANR glass, which are 
a BIG help, the scans are just plain soft. Fortunately, I found a Multi Pro 
in LN condition last December, have modified the holder for Xpan, and all is 
well. I highly recommend that scanner to whomever can find a good used 
example, and heap disdain on Minolta for abandoning that scanner and their 
superb light meters.

I will keep my fingers figuratively crossed for your best luck.
