Aliasing products caused by grain size and distribution
interfering(optically) with pixel size and distribution. The effect is

Check. Some versions of NS had sharpening turned on by default. I don'tknow
about 2.5 on.

Chromagenic B&W (XP2, TMax400CN) are pretty much immune to the
effectcompared to silver images. The ODR is kinder too.
Thanks for the info Tony , Bob and Mark - I'm using NS 3 and have checked
that sharpening is turned off . Strangely enough I was about to try a roll
of the new Portra 400 B&W which everyones going on about - will have to see
how it scans.....
