It is claimed that Tri-X should be rated at 1600 in Diafine, but it becomes very obvious that grain increases along with the degree of underexposure. Over the years I have gone down to 1200, then 1000 and now 800. The negatives are denser (which may not be an advantage for scanning) but there is less grain. The indoor shot of Dan was probably underexposed by a stop, and is much more grainy than the outdoor ones. I was also wanting to try out the V850, bought to allow full scans of 10x8 negatives (the 4870 couldn't do the whole frame), and it might also have contributed something to the grain, but surely not much as the properly exposed shots have very little.Very nice, Chris.
The tonality looks quite good.
How's the grain? It looks quite well-controlled, but hard to tell on the 'puter image.

BTW, Cindy, I see I have posted these photos in the wrong thread - if you wanted to move them to the 'Something Other Than...' thread It's fine with me.
