If you use Tmax100 film, and use a 20x grain magnifier, there is no apparent
grain in a 4x5 neg, at 20x24 printed size.  FYI, that is an apparent 100x
enlargement. The stuff is incredible.  IOt has leveled the playing field for
format arguments over grain.

Tri-X is just not in the same camp.

OTOH, I like proceedure of 4x5 tripod work.... or square Hasselblad
format...... or the immediacy of the Leica.....

I guess I just like to shoot pictures!
