I tend to agree here with the noise....
Maybe as an older person who was stuck with grain on film for years, I dislike grain so much now!
But the vignette is nice, as you mentioned, people love the vignette effect on their photos and it sells!

If you grew up with film and grain, how have you come to dislike it? All the local photographers around here that I know, who shot film, always say that they miss the beauty of grain. In fact most of their post op work is trying to achieve that same grainy look. I guess it's all just personal taste. I just figure if you grew up on something you tend to stick with that, but I guess that is just the few that I know. Personally, I love the look of grain.

This.
