I have seen what informally looked like very good results from the Microtek
8700 flatbed. It has a glassless carrier for up to 10x8 which should
eliminate problems like Newton's Rings, or emulsion damage, to the slides.
However check you can get a suitable mask.

The Agfa T2500 is now discontinued as Agfa have pulled out of scanners.
