Direct positive photographic light-sensitive materials

A direct positive photographic light-sensitive material comprising a support and at least one internal latent image silver halide emulsion layer containing core/shell silver halide grains which are composed of a silver halide core containing lead ions, cadmium ions or Group VIII metal ions, and a silver halide shell covering at least sensitivity sites of said core, and a binder, wherein said core/shell silver halide grains consist of two or more kinds of grains in a same or in different emulsion layers, each said kind of grain having a different average grain size, and the core of each said kind of core/shell silver halide grains having larger average grain size is doped with lead ions, cadmium ions, or Group VIII metal ions in an amount of more than 10% higher than the amount of the smaller of said kind of grains is doped, the amount of metal ions doped is in a range of from 10.sup.-8 to 10.sup.-4 mols per mol of silver halide, and the difference in the average grain size between the larger grains and the smaller grains is at least 0.1.mu., or 20% or more of said difference.
