I really don't get it. Tri-X is one of Kodak's fine-grained films. I
think its reputation for being grainy comes from the 50'ies or 60'ies,
but it's probably time we realize that it ain't so anymore.

Little lower exposure index (tad less than 400 will do it). But it is
grainier than the new Tri-X. It used to be Kodak's fine-grained 400
film, but the new Tri-X passed it up.

Nice film though. It handles underexposure nicely, probably better than 
Tri-X.
