Not really surprising...you're not looking at a 42x enlargement of the neg, you're looking at a 10x enlarrgement of the print, which is very different. If you put a 10x loupe on any print, it'll look decidedly fuzzy, due to the nature of the medium (paper). Slides would be the way to go for this sort of thing.
