YOU may want the grain, I don't, not when shooting Plus-X. I shoot Tri-X when
I want grain. You do not NEED to resolve down to the grain. It depends on
what size output you want to make. From a 35mm Plus-X negative scanned at
5080, I can make a 20x30 print at 240+ DPI.
No one claimed Plus-X has no grain, of course it does, that's how B&W film
works. But at 5080DPI the grain is not 'resolved' in the scan.
