What is the grainiest bw film and developer?

[Keith Tapscott.]

For a gritty graphic look, take up Bromoil printing.

final(ish) one for this cycle:
Ultrafine Finesse 400 in 1:25 Rodinal which I'm pretty sure is just N74.

 

[TheGreatGasMaskMan]

did just develop a Tmax 3200 in Rodinal 1:25, will show that after I get the scans back.

Next cycle's Rodinal plan:
Rollei Paul and Reinhold
Rollei Retro 400
Foma Ortho 400
FPP Derev 400 (pretty sure it's Svema 400)

later cycles:
Delta 3200
Catlabs 320
Shanghai 400
UN54
Double X

SFX 200
Rollei IR
Film Washi Z

N74 hasn't been available for a while. Kentmere again? Or Foma?
I'm quite interested in your results btw, and expect fomapan 400 will be the winner amog the affordable films. I like a really grainy look sometimes and would use a minox or 16mm camera, were it not for the lack of wide angle lenses in these formats and the hassle of it all.

pretty sure N74's still available, just in repackaged cases.

I also did do Foma 400 last summer- you can see the results in previous pages

big shock, but Tmax 3200 in Rodinal 1:25 has been the grainiest result yet...

Part of the reason I didn't want to use this is because using this film in the daylight in the summer is tricky...
I am also working on a Delta 3200, want to get that finished soon

1990 Svema Foto 125, barely an image on it, lost at least 6 stops

POTA would also be worth a try for max grain if you don’t mind making your own developer.

As expected.
You could use ND filters in the summer
