I'm going to draw a parallel here between photography and music, specifically music from the standpoint of the musician. In order to produce the music a musician hears in his or her head he/she must be proficient on their chosen instrument which takes on average around 10,000 hours of practice time for mere mortals. Now while the mechanics or photography is by and large easier to master than the piano it's still a requirement for getting what we want out of a given shot in a given situation. Modern digital cameras make a lot of that transparent for the majority of situations say 80%, the other 20% of the time requires us to step outside the box and revert to manual settings on our cameras, or the use of vintage manual lens, or tripods, etc, etc. Yes the vision has to be there for what we want to get, photograph wise, in any given situation, but we have to know how to get that out of our equipment. It's why photography is called an art and science.

I have a Canon 9000F MK II and while the lid will raise to around one inch off the bed, my film adapters are typically around 1/8" in total thickness. It's been said earlier but the critical dimension here is the height of the film above the scanner bed and being able to hold that height over the entire film surface. My best adapter (from a now defunct company) has a piece of anti Newton ring glass above the film to hold it as flat and parallel as possible relative to the scanner bed. Oh, on a somewhat different subject I have tried to photograph negatives using a holder designed for for that purpose but have had disappointing results I believe due to the lack of software that does what scanner software does like ViewScan and Silverlight in processing the resulting file(s). I currently scan 35mm negatives with a Konica Dimage Scan Dual IV which produces 13mp files.
Good luck with your endeavor
