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?
The grain would look the same on either type of paper as it is inherant to the film you use.HP5 is 400asa speed and has a bit of grain even at 400 asa, obviously it will be more pronounced when uprated.
