Sorry if the techno-speak is losing people, Ray.
If you want a short summary of the most important
point it's "Optical Density as quoted by the manufacturer
is probably meaningless as a way of choosing a scanner.
Testing it yourself is really the best way to know
whether it can do what you want it to."

Given that, it's a shame that no retailer I'm aware
of has a variety of scanners set up so that they
*can* be tested by potential purchasers. :(
(not in my part of the world anyway!)
