There is no question, Steve, that there are some real advantages to C41-
the instant processing and digital ice being just two of them. Of course
you could add "grain" for that tri-x look. :-) Seriously, try adding
about 2-5% noise in PS and see what you think.....

Absolutely BD, In some ways, and  for these 
particular  images I prefer this "look" , though 
in general you are right ...

Though  not always looking for a clearer view of 
what's behind, by increasing the dof...actually, I 
do love the look of Tri X...

The technical advantage of a C41 film is 1) easy 
development, by others, in an hour, and 
2)....Digital Ice that reduces dust and scratchs 
virtually to zero....but that's a marriage of 
convenience.

In general, the look of silver based film,  that 
of many of my favorite photographers,  and 
including your own images in that medium...is a 
look that I admire, and would love to achieve...
