And then it hides one's inability at correctly processing the film. If one would be capable of work within tighter tolerances, one could and should use some more modern emulsions. TriX is a joke on medium format, and on 35mm....... well, when I'm in a mucho-grainy mood, I might think it's fun. But it beats me how people can go out to a "serious shoot", and load their cameras with TX. Perhaps living without auto exposure forces the less adept among us to resort to the easy way out with tolerant, yet inferior film: it takes a little time to get the red dot to light up.....
