Digital BW, The Print

Dear Manuel
I have recently made a similar move. I bought a 4mg pixel digital camera when my two 35mm (OM2 & Minox) packed up. The digital is very poor except for shots of the family.
I went for another Minox to carry round. Then for a 50 year old Rollieflex TLR with metering. I have only put three films through up to now and made a complete mess of two of them, but I wanted something to slow me down and think, rather than click the shutter a thousand times and hope something would come out of it.
The dilemma is film. Transparency is supposed to be best but probably only if you have a high end film scanner or drum scanner. I think I will change to negative film. Then, and this is the only advice I can think of, have large prints made 8x8 from these square negs. These will scan very nicely on my flat bed (Epson 1640XL). 
With the novelty of black and white printing, this set-up feels like real photography again, and uses digital techniques for what they are best at.
I hope this helps.
John
