I'm currently working on perfecting my setup, right now it's pretty crude. I'm not even using real extension tubes (for lack of a dedicated macro lens), but a piece of rolled up cardboard :o
The noise reduction is not so much to remove the grain, but rather to smooth out the noise created during digitizing and converting the negative in post processing. Apparently a tungsten light source isn't ideal for digitizing (high noise in the blue and green channels, while the red stays clean). I've come up with a set of photoshop actions that do as good a job as negative to positive software (that you have to pay for), I could probably post a tutorial if anyone is interested :)
Digital tends to have some issues getting detail out of the shadow areas in negatives, so the noise reduction helps keep things relatively clean.

I haven't a film scanner, so I "scanned" negatives with a K20D and extension tubes. Then a photoshop action to invert and fix the colors and reduce grain :)
