I wasn't really talking about resolving power. I was speaking of how the grain looks under a magnifier. I guess I found it difficult to focus the TMAX100 because the grain didn't appear to have sharp edges. I'm sure it's superior to Plus-X in many ways or Kodak wouldn't be making it. But I do like the old fashioned BS look of Plux-X. I'll have to try the TMAX 100 again. Paul
