RE: [Digital BW] Scanning service recommendations.

Indeed! I could hear that nail being struck all the way from Texas.  And
that is true of most photographic services on the printing side. We are not
just a "Auto" industry, although we can put something in at the beginning
and will always get something coming out, the quality comes at a cost.

The best scanning service is one that understands your needs. When 
people ask for scanning, they need to be specific about the 
requirements. Real fluid mounted drum scans remain the gold standard for 
top quality (sorry Flex owners) but maybe the need is for a reasonable 
cost on a quantity of scans suitable for web use or small prints which 
is at the opposite end of the spectrum. How good a scan you can get for 
a price at either extreme is the question. There are places that will 
scan slides for less than 50 cents each and places that will scan them 
for hundreds of dollars each and there is everything in between. Either 
could be a bargain or a waste of money depending what you actually need 
and ultimately get. When people come to my shop, we usually have to play 
20 questions before we can offer the best price and matching service and 
sometimes we even pass on the job.
