I know liquid light is a pretty slow thing, so im wondering if are there higher speed liquid silver halides availble out there? How would one create a regular film speed liquid light, say like iso 400?
I gather it is because you need larger crystals, if thats the case how do I make "larger crystal" emulsion?
Where do I begin, or can I already buy higher speed liquid emulsions for making film online?
Thanks for the help. First post, so sorry if it has already been asked.

Sorry I missed this.

It will be difficult to make anything much above ISO 100 in a home lab. The requirements for making an ISO 400 or higher emulsion are rather complex.
