The lowly 2720 lpi Acer Scanwit film scanner had/has automatic focusing,
activated before doing pre-scans, and it also was the only scanner to
have a direct light path from film to sensor, no mirrors at all.  Not
bad engineering, though limited by resolution. However, the Silverfast
program for this scanner would overscan at 5,400 lpi.  Move over,
Minolta! {:-)
