Absolutely true, I think many of you have seen my Nikon 4000ED scan and
microscope view of Velvia slide, the grain is very visable but people just
don't want to admit it. The only image that I can't see grain is 10D's
digital image.

last several years.  Right now, there are over 60 rolls of 35mm 100F and 20
rolls of 35mm 400F in the beer/wine/Coke/film fridge.  There are probably
about that many 120 rolls of each, too.  I swear by the stuff!

resolution and you don't see some grain at extreme magnifiacation, your
scanner is not focusing correctly.  That's one of the things I like most
about the Minolta -- manual focusing.  It nearly always seems to produce
sharper, more detailed scans than depending on the autofocus.  But ain't
that the way it always is with any kind of autofocus anything anyway?
