The Dimage Scan Multi has a scanning mask to hold 8mm film, but the drawback is that I believe you'll have to cut the film to fit it into the scanner. Also, the resolution is "only" 2820 dpi (or thereabouts), so the actual number of pixels you'll get across the width of the film is fairly small. You can read our review of the Dimage Multi at:

Good luck!
