Quite so.  But even Tri-X (actually TXP, which isn't quite the same thing)
has very unobtrusive grain at MF sizes.  No need to mention Technical Pan.
Velvia is impressive and Provia even more so.  Portra 400BW is also
virtually grain free--a kind of inexpensive and convenient substitute for
Tech Pan, if you don't need the absolute ultimate of the latter.  Portra
400BW and Tech Pan are pretty much grain free even in 35mm; Provia 100F is
nearly so.
