I just would like to know, if the 200 scans per week (about 5 per hour - 12
minutes per picture) is the usual effectiveness when scanning slides,
transparencies or photographs.
The total sum of 5400 per year would show that - mean value - only 100 scans
can be done per week.

Great work, thanks for the information,

Peter Rebernik (Vienna, Austria)
