When we did tests on greyscale scanning on microfilm scanners we were
surprised how many places said they'd need to adjust the settings so
much... and hence put up the price. We eventually found that Mekel and
Sunrise scanners can be used very quickly once typical settings are found
for the film batches. Beware (as Robert Rosenberg says) of companies who
try to make greyscale on non-equiped scanners - you'd be amazed how much
time you can waste with them...
