Abstract

A silver halide photographic emulsion containing tabular silver halide grains which have an aspect ratio of 2 or more and in which dislocations are localized in a center portion of each grain. The tabular silver halide grains have a thickness of less than 0.5 .mu.m and a diameter of 0.3 .mu.m or more and account for at least 50% of a total projected area of the silver halide grains. This emulsion has a high sensitivity and good reciprocity characteristics. In a photographic light-sensitive material having at least two light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layers having different color sensitivities on a support, the above tabular silver halide photographic emulsion and at least one type of a coupler which is coupled with an oxidant of a color developing agent to develop a color are added to at least one of the emulsion layers, thereby obtaining a photographic light-sensitive material having a high sensitivity and good reciprocity characteristics.
