You are right about the grain being big enough at a higher magnification..
The question is, however, do you want a large grainy print with sharp grains (high-rez scanning/printing), or do you want a large grainy print with very blurry grains (low-rez scan, upscaled for print)?

OWW you're scaring me! Have to go now and check if my rolleiflex is still a rolleiflex...and how about my "new" fuji 6x9 rf? I hope it didn't transform into some kind of HP SUpercoolshot PZT550 Zoom Megapixel Camera!
Really, beautiful film grain deserves a scan of high resolution imo.
Your 200% blow-up image, varjag, is weird - i see pixelation and strong anti-aliasing in it, seems more like you linearly upscaled a low-rez scan image ...

Ah, so that's where it comes from. Well, good point.
However, in same vein, we really should also measure the resolution of CCD+lens system, just as we do for film. Unless one contact prints test targets on the sensor of course

Of course there is upsampling and pixelation, it's 200% crop FFS. Done so as to clearly make pixel boundaries visible.

ok i think i misunderstood your point before. My bad.
