These images look very fine grained for 35mm!

The sax player is FP4 film and the landscape is Panatomic-X.

It is worth reading up on Grain Aliasing. Low resolution, whether in traditional printing or this digitizing, can make grain appear coarser.

I'm familiar with Grain Aliasing from this article. Ironically, the author is an owner of a Scanwit scanner. As far as I remember there was no real solution to the problem, only suggestions. Things like changing the resolution / defocusing the scanner etc.

Leaving the Scanwit at the recycling centre solved quite a lot of problems.
