Analog film photography and cameras

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.

I don't shoot much b&w myself but this is my contention as well.

I just can't justify the cost of a scanner at the moment. I'm thinking I'll probably go all out when I do though - something that can scan medium format like the Coolscan 9000. It'll set me back at least £1000 (if I'm lucky) but the way I see it, that's the same as a decent DSLR so it's not actually that ridiculous.
