I like better original shots.
Gaussian Blur can be applied to MF negs. I did it couple of times, and
then i got really sharp and smooth pictures for web. Thats more than 10x
resize!
For 35mm ... better leave grainy version.

Following a few suggestions, I applied Gaussian blur
to these pix; moved the slider back and forth until
the grain was minimized without losing detail. That
happened at a radius of 2.5 pixels.
Here are the modified shots:

Keeping in mind that I generally like grain, and that I really liked
#1 in it's original form, I gotta say that I prefer the original to
the GB version. Seems to me that there's too much loss of detail, all
to remove something that I didn't find all that objectional in the
first place.
