Possibly depending on the vintage too. I just scanned in some Gold 200 of
the kids that we took about 6 years ago, and the grain is the size of the
eyeball. 4x6 prints are OK, but anything over that is useful. I recall
similar grain characteristic from 400/800 of that era.
I know for a fact that the current 800 films, Kodak and Fuji, have less
grain than that.

Although I have only used it once, I would certainly not call it grainy.

, look at the right side direct film scan. On my 19" screen, this is the
equivalent of a 20x30" print and the granularity is quite modest for 20x
enlargement. This is Kodak Gold 400-3 film. My scan is at 2720dpi with a
diffuse light source (Canoscan FS2710). Perhaps the particular granularity
of Gold 400 works poorly with your Nikon 4000dpi, collimated light source
scanner, producing the dreaded 'grain aliasing'?
I'm not recommending Gold 400. I use Supra and Portra NC in 400 speed.
However, this freebie roll I shot is just not 'extremely grainy'.
