I've got to find a scanner film or flatbed for 127 slide and b&w film. Ive 
considered buying a Nikon 9000 Film Scanner and an Epson Flatbed Scanner. 
Neither has a negative/film holder to fit 127 film's format.

Do you need to scan your negatives and slides in a holder when flatbed 
scanning? i.e. can or can't you just put the negative directly on the glass?

Are there any after market maker's of negative holders for either system for 
127 film?

Regards,

Greg
