Abstract (en)

A photographic material has been coated on at least one side of a support with in at least one photosensitive layer hexagonal and/or circular tabular silver halide emulsion crystals occupying at least 70 % of the total projected area of all grains, having a thickness of 0.15 to 0.30 mu m, a coefficient of variation of the tabular grains between 0.15 and 0.45 and an average aspect ratio of at least 2:1, prepared in the absence of ammonia by growing the nuclei, prepared at a pBr value between 1.0 and 2.0 and consuming less than 10 % by weight of silver nitrate, during a first growth step at a pBr value between 1.0 and 2.5 consuming at least 10 % by weight of silver nitrate and during a second growth step at a pBr value higher than 2.7 during the addition of at least 40% of the total amount of silver nitrate used. The loss in sensitivity and gradation after development of said material in a diluted cheap developer after exposing said photographic material containing said emulsion grains is neglectable in comparison with the characteristics obtained after development in stronger high quality developers.
