I scan my xpan slides on a Nikon 8000 but I had to buy an expensive 
additional glass carrier with masks in order to do so. The carrier/mask 
combo tells the scanner the size of the scan area. There may be ways to 
fool the scanner into scanning the "wrong" size using one of the 
supplied carrier but I bit the bullet and bought the Nikon one.
Works great but I use mainly Kodachrome 64 and I find it scans less 
well than E6 films, I note the 9000 has a Kodachrome setting not 
available on the 8000. I shall be using more E6 in future!
