Peter,

Although I hadn't thought about it that way before, this must be why I
like TMAX + HC-110. I do get a nice but moderate sense of the grain,
and very fine detail. Since it's what I was using in the darkroom,
it's what I first used with my film scanning -- and I happened to like
it right away instead of thinking "egad, this is awful!"

Interesting how something unlikely to satisfy, sometimes does.
