If you really really very picky about scanning, invest in Vuescan. Spend time and effort to master it... U might get much better scan than the labs.
Kudos to that... Horribly counter-intuitive interface.. but solid scanning software.

ah!! so that's the trick!!If it's a good roll of B&W, I will normally scan as colour (turn OFF dust reduction) then do post processing on the file to get the desired effect that I want. Scanning at 8bit on B&W usually do not give enough details for heavy post processing.

nice pics bro.. are the summicron pics taken from my old lens
I like the first pic most, very nice perspective and angle
I couldn't get the batching scanning to align on my Epson V700. Wrote in for support and received a, don't know, try harder reply. Try the software first, make sure it works for you before paying.Kudos to that... Horribly counter-intuitive interface.. but solid scanning software.

Personally, the one that comes with the scanner is good enough. Usually, I do not do any processing at scan level, I do the post processing in Photoshop.
For negatives, I usually 2400dpi. If it's a frame that I really like, I will scan at 3600dpi.
For colour negatives & slides, I usually turn on dust reduction.
