Abstract:
A silver halide photographic material comprising at least one photosensitive silver halide emulsion layer and at least one non-photosensitive hydrophilic colloid layer on a support, whereinthe silver coverage per surface is in the range of 1.3 to 2.0 q/m.sup.2,the silver halide emulsion layer contains silver halide grains wherein tabular silver halide grains having an aspect ratio of at least 5 account for at least 50% of the entire projected area of silver halide grains, and the silver halide grains have been grown on pure silver bromide grains or silver chlorobromide grains as nuclei so as to form silver iodobromide or silver chloroiodobromide having a silver iodide content of 0.1 to 3.20 mol % at the end of growth, wherein the pure silver bromide grains or silver chlorobromide grains serving as nuclei have been prepared using a vinyl polymer having recurring units derived from at least one monomer of the following formula (2): ##STR98## wherein R is an alkylene group having 3 to 10 carbon atoms, letter n represents an average number of recurring units from 4 to 200, R.sup.1 is hydrogen or a lower alkyl group, R.sup.2 is hydrogen or a monovalent substituent, and L is a divalent linkage group.
