I will say that I used the example of 400 speed sheet film and I did shoot close to zero of that. When I shot sheet film I tended to shoot the slowest stuff I could find. Agfapan 25 even. Though mainly 100 stuff I think. And with that stuff I really cant remembers seeing grain in my even very large prints even with one of my various loupes. I had by the way one of the better grain magnifiers and my enlarger was calibrated so each corner get the exact tight grain pattern. With a Zig Align. Damn those things were great!
