I experience the same, especially with rodinal (go figure) but don't necessarily hate it (grain that is, more of a salt and pepper look). I do prefer delta 400 over tmy but that may be because I have shot more of it. I also tend to prefer the grain of traditional cubic 400 speed film vs tabular grain 400 speed film.
Now tmx in rodinal is a completely different story. Love it.

Hi Peter, curious about your personal distaste of tmy and what characteristic you don't like. I believe you do like tmx, at least my memory says you have stated you liked it (my memory has been incorrect before). Just curious, food for thought stuff. Thanks!
Jon - I think it that I never quite liked the contrast and tonality, especially compared to Tri-X although it was finer grained than Tri-X. Of course I didn't have access to drum scanners and Photoshop thirty years ago so I'm sure that colored my opinion as well. That scanner has been a big equalizer for a lot of different films. I guess I should have posted a copy of the proof sheet for this image and you would really see what I mean. I understand that the later TMY films were improved but I never tested them. I'm still surprised to see that I used this film back then (1989) on a job. If I knew then what I know now we'd of had a much better record cover.

I have just upgraded my Rolleiflex SL66 to the SL66E model with the meter and HFT lens and could not be happier.

The cv 35/2.5 is a great lens. I've tried not to like it and bought a 35/3.5 ltm summaron which I thought would replace it. I recently sold the summaron (will probably buy it again). It's a modern lens and renders that way. No real character to it and I have been using a lot of old lenses which have definite character. The lens is contrasty, sharp wide open, flare resistant even shooting into the sun and tiny. It really is a winner and is staying anchored on my M5. Really for the money, you can't go wrong and could do a lot worse spending a lot more money. Just a great lens. Not super fast but f2.5 is fast enough for 95% of the time. I shoot it indoors as well and with a rangefinder, I can shoot at 1/15s without blur so don't need faster on iso 400 film.

random stuff from a "lost" roll. Nikon L35AF, hp5+, hc110 dil b, yellow filter, pakon scan
A few from my now no more 140+ mile commute to work. All shot out the window as I flew by.
and near town

Another recent image from Monterey. The more I looked at this the more I liked both the layered cake aspect to the fishing boat and the light on it. Mamiya 7, 43mm lens.
