Extreme grain

Yep. Lith print on Varycon - It won't matter whether your negative is grainy or not. It's a really neat lith paper.
 
Thank you for your advises. I'll try them for the next rolls!

However i've already shot some rolls of Tri-X and I'd like to know how to get the bigger grain from them without cropping. As I said before I use Dektol as developer...

P.S.: I know and like the work of Fukase, Sobol, Petersen...
 
 
D 3200 - some examples

Hi,
Hi, I' v been looking for dose extreme grain too.
I haven’t succeeded jet, but I' v tried D3200.

This is D 3200 at IE 1600 developed in Xtol for 1:1 for 15 min in 20 C




And some more here:

Something wrong happened to that link, here is the link to that grainy portrait:

A point source enlarger will emphasis grain.

There's also Kodak's formula SD-19a which uses D-19 plus a chemical foggant. If you want golf ball sized grain, this is the one.
 
As mentioned by a couple of others, I really think this "grain" is the result of crop+enlarge and not a superman developer.
 
Stephen Frizza's advice sounds extremely interesting.

I have done many different things, including adding mezzonine screens and such to change things, but the grain mask method he mentions, is something I have never done.

I'm going to give it a go.

Try Rollei R3 135mm film with rodinal semi-stand development (agitate continuously for the 1st minute, then 10 seconds every 10 minutes, 20 C degree) + large enlargement (I shoot with Robert royal 24 camera, 55 shots for 1 roll of film). Compared with Trix, the grain of R3 is more uniform and beautiful for portrait picture.
