When I had a (flat bed) scanner, a person who sold it to me (my friend
actually) gave me a slide frame (for 35 mm film) with slightly shaven
off locks, so that I could use it to fix the film flat. I think similar
thing can be constructed from a bigger slide holders too...

I don't have a dedicated film scanner and probably never will, but I
found a CanoScan 8000F (2400 x 4800 dpi) at a thrift store over the
lunch break today that I decided to take a chance on for $12.99.
: )
It has the big thick lid with backlight for film scanning. It came
with power supply and everything, but not the film guides (or
software). Software shouldn't be much of a problem to procure, but I
need to rig something for a film holder (guide). Found this simple
tip:

For the little bit it takes to try, I'm going to give it a go. Just
wondered if anyone had any other ideas for DIY film holders to use
with this scanner.
