    Isn’t it the flimsy, thin film surround guide?

    Don’t think they did a film holder as such.

    And,

    The second shows the guide. The Epson V850 webpage indicates this is possible.

    What Lachlan said. There isn't any holder for 8x10. The film goes directly on the glass within the perimeter defined by the film area guide.

    8x10 is scanned directly on the glass.

    And it is at the lower resolution. The 850, while a good scanner, isn't the best for 8x10 (from direct experience). It really depends on your final use.

    And I don't expect many (any?) of us intends on making 8x10 FOOT prints from such a scan.

    I scan my 8x10 colornegs with the epson wetmounting holder in two parts and stich after. So I have the high-resolution scan and ICE dust removel.
    For BW there is no ICE. The resolution advantage of filmholder to groundglas is about 2400 dpi to 2000 dpi net. For this resolution step I personally would not step up to the highres-scan. 2000 dpi net for 8x10 is a lot (!) of information. The drumscan services here in germany dont offer 8x10 scans with more than 2000 dpi.
    What modern (USB and 64bit software) scanner better than Epson 700/800 can you recommend for 8x10?
    regards
    Rainer
