I have been trying to find the average grain size of 35mm color film 
as a function of ISO number on the WWW with no luck.

I would like to compare the number of grains in film to the number of 
pixels for electronic cameras so I can gauge the difference in 
resolutions.

I have learned that grain size can be affected by how the film is 
exposed and processed, but I was wondering if you could give me a ball 
park estimate.

Thanks.
