when i shot a lot of B&W, i used to use and deliberately induce grain for its artistic effect. after i started shooting color regularly, grain was my enemy and anything i could to do remove it was better, as far as i was concerned.
i feel the same about adding grain to a digital source as i do applying a grain removal filter to a film scan, i do it because i like what i get.

But I was ,with one exception, able to tell the digital shots from the film shots that Cotty presented to those of us who went to GFM (The photo meet in North Carolina) last year. As BIll Robb said (I paraphrase) there is something about them.
