Yeah, I have recently switched to "scanning" my 6x6cm and 35mm negatives with a macro lens and digital camera. It's probably not as flat out perfect as a really good scanner, but the end results look amazing and fit my workflow for digital images as well.

I recently got a camera with "pixel shift" technology and using that the files have 96mb and really show off the grain. Plus it's just faster than scanning ever was. I am really very happy with the setup.

Heck ya! How are you processing your negatives? Negative Lab Pro? Manually creating positives in Photoshop?
I'd recommend https://grain2pixel.com. It's free, works good and the creator answered my emails in less than a day
I've just been doing it in Photoshop. I have primarily Black and White negatives with a few E6 slides, so it's pretty easy.
