Yes I want grain. I also want slow shutter speeds. I know, crazy etc. So Im looking for a fairly high grain level something approaching 3200 grain in a film thats 400 or less but would consider using an ND filter or polariser if needs be.
I need to know what developers out there will help to exentuate grain.

Im wondering about using rodinal at 1+25 for the contrast.
 
The longer the development time, the larger the grain. Rodinal is right but maybe 1:50 is better than 1:25.

My personal favorite for grain is Tri-X shot in a half frame camera and developed with Rodinal 1:50. IMO it gives a more "natural" looking grain than the T-max films.

Raid recently posted a thread with TMZ shot in a Pen F half frame SLR.
 
i second fomapan in rodinal (i once used the older formula calbe 09 which gives even stronger grain)
pushing rodinal doesnt work that good, but give it a try, you'll be surprised
(personally i leave my fingers from that combo;))
