Hold your rotten tomatoes, I'm asking a scanner question.

Sorry, but I don't think the v700 resolves grain at all. The proof is in the pudding... see the comparison scans I did earlier in this thread.
 
I agree and there are my scans too. Though Minolta has some hard time with Kodachrome too. The difference is more obvious with 400 ASA negatives, when Minolta can do well already.

There is grain and "grain". Sure you can make it look pretty good by sharpening, especially if you compare just websize pictures. But again... The real grain is different and comparing print-size scans the difference is clear.

There is no flatbed that really resolves grain well, at least not up to V700.

I wonder if there are many people who never made prints in darkroom. There, using the focus aid you see what real grain is like. I'd say Minolta Scan Dual IV can do that with 400 films quite good. Nikon Coolscan V and probably Minolta 5400 is already very good.
