 I have to agree with Dana on this one.  I have been using a 9000 for over two years now 
with the glass carrier, both 35 mm and 120, and the focus is tack sharp.  If the negative is 
clean without scratches then there is no reason to go to all the trouble of wet mounting.  
Once you use glass you never go back.
