Digital BW, The Print

I suggest you get an inexpensive-but-film-oriented flatbed scanner,
such as an Epson 3200 or 4870...ideally refurbished directly from
Epson to save $$.. use this scanner to make low resolution proofs. You
may want to get Qimage, an inexpensive application that's good for
"enlarged proof sheets." 

You will eventually decide that the flatbed isn't perfect for your
ultimate enlargements (most will look OK for your initial purposes)
but it will give you an inexpensive running start and will be the most
efficient way to review your 10,000 shots :-) And it's nice to have a
flatbed around for other purposes.

fwiw I'm using an Epson 3200 and a Nikon V ED.
