I have a Coolscan 9000 and the MF glass holder. It was an amazing how well the holder works for holding the film flat.
However, using the stock 35mm holder from Nikon has been a hit or miss. For some frames, I feel that the edges are not as sharp as the center, probably due to the film flatness problem. After doing some research, I found that Focal Point provides some AN glasses for the Nikon 35mm holder. I am wondering if anyone would have some experience with the AN Glass + Nikon holder combo. Do you like the result? Would the additional glass tend to cause the holder to pop within the scanner and therefore jam the scanner? I would also appreciate any other tips that could be used to get most out of a 35mm negative using a Coolscan 9000.
By the way, I heard that the Nikon 35mm holder's locking system could be worn out after about 500 times of opening and closing. I am wondering if anyone has experienced this problem. If that is the case, I may need to order another holder just for backup.
Thanks!
