A photosensitive silver halide emulsion comprising photosensitive silver halide grains which essentially consists of monodisperse globular-shaped grains. The grains may be prepared by adding a silver halide solvent to a silver halide emulsion containing monodisperse silver halide grains of regular crystal habit at a time between the complete formation of the monodisperse silver halide grains of regular crystal habit and before commencement of chemical sensitization.
