This review is from: Nikon FH-869GR 120/220 Film Stip Holder (Glass) (Electronics)
I use this carrier with my Coolscan 9000. It holds a medium format negative flat for sharper scanning, allows you to rotate it for more perfect capturing of the entire image, and includes a variety of masks so that it can be used with many different film formats. I've used it mostly with 6x6cm negatives on 120 stock, and 4x4cm negatives on 127 stock (by using a 6x4 mask and adding a supplementary mask of my own). It may also work with 35mm; I haven't tried.

The problems with this carrier are (1) it is expensive, (2) you will constantly be cleaning dust and fingerprints off the glass, especially when scanning black and white images on which Digital ICE can not be used, and (3) the paper masks seem frail. I am sure I will tear or mangle them before long, and the carrier won't work without them. And (4) one negative at a time, so it's slow.
