Jeff--
I pulled out a couple of Tri-X scans at 1000 dpi, 2000 dpi and 4000
dpi I made on my Nikon LS4000ED a couple of months ago as a test, and
they don't look any better than the sample you posted. These are
30-year old negs which I think were from my Rodinal period (one of
them could have been Dektol or HC-110).
