Analog film photography and cameras

I've been weighing it up. Over a few years I reckon the cost of sending off all my films, 2 or 3 at a time to have them developed and scanned to CD will be more expensive than developing them myself and scanning with a cheap scanner from Maplin as mentioned above.

My long term plan is to do bw dev at home, send off for c41 + e6, then scan at home with dedicated scanner. It seems to be the sweet spot of cost, convenience and quality.
