Silver halide photographic material

Claim 1

A sliver halide photographic material comprising a support having thereon at least one silver halide emulsion layer, wherein the silver halide emulsion layer comprises a silver halide emulsion which satisfies condition (i) and wherein said silver halide emulsion layer or another silver halide emulsion layer having the same color sensitivity as that of said silver halide emulsion layer comprises a silver halide emulsion which satisfies condition (ii): Condition (i): (1) tabular grains having at least two twinning planes, a diameter of at least 0.15 μm and an average aspect ratio of 2 to 8 accounting for at least 70% of silver halide grains as calculated in terms of projected area and (2) grains having a (b/a) ratio of at least 5 wherein (a) is the longest distance between the two or more parallel twinning planes and (b) is the grain thickness accounting for at least 50% of said tabular grains by number; Condition (ii): core/shell structure grains with the core comprising silver haloiodide having a silver iodide content of at least 5 mol % and with the shell having a silver iodide content at least 5 mol % lower than the silver iodide content of the core and with the core/shell structure grains having a diameter of at least 0.15 μm and an average aspect ratio of less than 2 accounting for at least 70% of silver halide grains as calculated in terms of projected area.
