Tom, I'm just starting an exercise to try to determine which films look
best when scanned. What film scanner are you using?

You could try Provia 100F push processed to 400. I've read that this
doesn't
show much increase in grain. Mihai just posted about new Fuji films which
could be worth checking out when they hit the stores. I don't know about
others, but my experience has been that slide film shows less grain than
negs
of the same speed. I guess it's inconvenient, but a flash also allows you
to
use a slower film. :)
