If you can find one, the Microtek ScanMaker 4 has a transparency tray 
and has recently been discontinued. The model which takes over from 
the 4 is about twice the price....

I have a ScanMaker 4 with Silverfast (came as a bundle) and it has 
exceeded my expectations. Can be used to scan trannies up to 10x8!

Probably the best deal out there at the moment if you can find one 
before they are all snapped up.
