That's about the price range for the Dusocan T1200. There's also a way to make a miniature transparency adapter for a standard flatbed scanner. Not great, but it does work, and in fact, HP made one that came with some cheap scanners. There's instructions somewhere on the Net about how to make this gadget. It looks like a little tent, with reflective material inside, that sits over your slide. (Guess you could make something bigger for 4x5). The trick is that the base has to be twice the short side of your neg. It catches the light through the open portion of the base, and reflects it back down through the neg into the scanner. Might be worth an experiment.
