Tri-X is one of my favorite films for grain, so I was surprised to read that it's no good for scanning. I guess everybody's tastes are different... I've tried numerous films, and I keep coming back to Tri-X. I usually rate it at 800 to get more speed and grain. We have about five hours of weak daylight here in Norway at the moment, so I need all the speed I can get... I scan on the Minolta 5400 and find that it can resolve the grain nicely. On the front page of my site images 2-4 and 8-9 are Tri-X rated at 800. Of course, it's kind of hard to tell what the grain is like because of the JPEG compression. -- Daniel Staver http://daniel.staver.no
