David I have just received my Minolta SMP and have experienced the same thing with negatives. I have scanned Fuji Reala to very unsatisfactory results. Reala is as fine grained a negative film as it gets. XP2 is equally bad. I tried the defocus suggestion and it doesn't do any good - I get a slightly blurred version of a grainy scan! The only way to get less grain is really a heavy dose of GEM - 50% or more. But using GEM destroys data somewhat. Scans of Provia F on the other hand is superb. The results are pretty awesome. So, my interim conclusion is that the Minolta is an excellent slide scanner, but has a lot to be desired for negative scanning. Other web reviews seem to back this.
