Getting gritty, 70ish photos like these

Hi,

What's my best bet for getting photos all nice and grainy like these?

I've been told Olympus MJU II with a "****ty film" like Kodak Gold, but I don't know how accurate that is.

Thanks!

Crank up your ISO, the noise will come!

But what camera and film should I buy? After that I'll crank up the ISO, no problem :lmao:

Are you talking about shooting film? If so, 400 ASA Kodak Gold, pushed to 800 and increase the developer temp. by about 10 degrees... all the grain you could ever want. OR you could shoot with any film you like, scan the negatives and add a grain filter with an application such as Photoshop. Lastly, as mentioned above, shoot digital and crank the heck outta the ISO.

You don't necessarily need to push the processing to get the grain. Depending on the film, you can simply overexpose by a stop or two. Note that these are pretty low contrast images- push processing will tend to produce high contrast.
