Todd,

I think that negative film is in fact has more grain than 
transparency film. Especially in the high speed range films. I 
scanned some Portra 400 color negative film and it is grainy. I scan 
Tri-X B/W negative film and it is grainy. Obviously T-Max 100 is very 
fine grain.

Fuji Velvia has almost no grain at all from my scanning experience.
