Nikon's coolscan 9000 is a multi format slide/film scanner. I don't know
offhand if it will accept 8mm, but it definitely works with 16mm, so you
might be able to do some rigging if need be. The Epson v750 is a flatbed
scanner that is multi format and it has the option to use a wet gate type of
mechanism. Slide or drum scanners will always be better than flatbeds, but
the 750 is really good for a flatbed. I personally just rephotograph the
frame using a light table with a canon dslr and the canon mp-e 65mm macro
lens that will go up to 5x. It's much quicker than scanning and the end
image is very comparable to what you would get with a slide/film scanner.
