Hi Otis ... I don't know what you mean by a "commercial scanning service" - are there places that just specialize in scanning? When I want film scanned, and if I can't do it myself, I use one of the local, full-service, professional photo labs in the area. They'll provide any kind of scan the customer wants, from a medium-quality scan of around 2,400ppi all the way up to 12,000ppi drum scans. Each negative can get specific scanning instructions, should that be desired.
Where are you located? You can try looking in the phone book for a few quality custom labs, or go on line and find some mail order places. One of the places around here is "The Light Room" and they do very good work. They have an on-line presence.
