The Nikon glass holder with masks works very well on the 8000, and I  
presume 9000, scanner(s). Using digital GEM it is a bit slow on my  
older Mac but not bad. I scan Xpan, Rolleiflex and Mamiya 7 film and  
am very happy with the results apart from 200 asa print film which  
gives hideous grain aliasing.
