I allways believed that, but looking at my latest film (I have nothing
else than Rodinal and so made a test at 1+25), I found that it depends
on your exposure : testing filter between film rails, I needed to found
how to set sensitivity so I bracketed extensively.

My conclusions are that you will have monster grain when you overexpose,
but very acceptable if you are at the limit of underexposure.

Is that purely accidental, or other peoples are doing same observations ?
