> I really like TriX and I like the grain :) A very important thing, since grain is an intrinsic component of the final image. So many things have to be ~right~ for a picture to work. We dwell on having the correct lens, and the ideal exposure, and the proper development, and the best paper. So may times, it seems, all we seem to think about with the film is "how fine is the grain"?. Much more important a question, methinks, is "What does the grain look like?". It doesn't matter how fine grained a film is, if you shoot 35mm film and make enlargements 8x10 or bigger, grain is part of the final image. For myself, the grain had damn well better look nice, or the image is a failure. Tri-X has very nice grain. William Robb - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
