Oh ok. I forgot about that being a 5000 only feature. I have the 8000 so I
can scan medium format film, which I shoot a lot of, and I use the glass
carrier that only allows scanning of ONE frame at a time. I use it for
EVERYTHING, even 35mm film, because it makes a DRAMATIC quality difference
in the scans. I don't shoot film for commercial work, only for fine art, so
I typically only choose a few frames per roll to scan, which makes the
hassle of the one-frame glass carrier not such a hassle. You're wanting it
to scan things like weddings, right? I actually did a wedding many years ago
on film; the couple wanted black and white film and were willing to pay the
price. It took a damned eternity to scan the films with my 8000/glass
carrier combo. I shoulda charged them twice as much :D
