Camera scanning film, can work quite well. Yeah, I once had access to Nikon film scanners, but that was never a painless, nor quick process either. ICE helped, particularly on older stock that may not have been all that well protected from dust and debris over the years. However, not required.
If you have Photoshop, check out the following link for a relatively painless workflow for dust and scratch removal. Also scroll down to the comments section for a more reversible workflow from 'Marc.' To be clear, this is not my content, just something I found useful and worthy of sharing.
Dust removal in Photoshop link.
Going forward, the two things that I've found most helpful are a copy stand and negative/slide carriers, the very thing used to hold your film in the optical path of an enlarger. Speaking of, if you have any mechanical aptitude, an enlarger can be readily hacked into a copy stand setup.

Got the copy stand, waiting for the negative carrier. Got the light box a while back. Still wondering what the easiest way is to batch convert the negatives to positives. So far, I've tried only slides and one negative (that I inverted in Photoshop, but I rather avoid Photoshop).
Also still trying to figure out how I can assure that my camera stays at a 90 degree angle to the negative/slide. I use a level and notice the camera easily moves enough to not be level with the negative.
