I recently took a roll of HP5, using my inherited Nikon F80, a Tamron 28-200 lens and an orange filter. I sent the film away to a lab for developing, and had some 10 x 8 prints done of a few of the better ones.

These were resin coated hand prints on semi-matt paper. The results look very grainy to me...although it is quite atmospheric. Is this 'graininess' a function of the paper, perhaps? Would it look less grainy with gloss paper?
