Well I disagree with Benny.
1. there is no need to process your own own E6, that is a pain in the bum and labs do it cheaply.
2. You can buy a 2nd hand coolscan for very little money which will take great scans.
3. If you have a local lab with a Fuji Frontier, and get chatting with them, you can get them to do HiRez scans for you for nothing. Obviously avoid chemist machines run by 16 year olds.
Finally, if you have a really good slide, just get it printed! If you get a custom print done, they will also give you the corrected scan from a Imacon with the print! All the base work is done, and you get a nice print too!
The reality is, you will only do a few STUNNING shots a year, and when you do, its worth the money the $15 to get a Imacon scan.
Think how much a decent one-shot CCD camera costs... and the resolutions are still very low (looks great on the web, but won't enlarge as well), and suffer lots of noise.
