Take a trip down memory lane to the absolute peak of the British high-street analog boom. For decades, Jessops was the undisputed king of UK photography, and their house-brand "Diamond" series was the go-to choice for millions of casual shooters and student photographers alike.

This curated experimental bundle brings together three distinct, full-length 36-exposure rolls from the mid-2000s. It gives you the perfect "exposure bracket" toolkit to test a legendary range of discontinued British house films.

What’s In The Bundle?

1. Jessops Diamond Fine 100 (36exp) — Expired 2007

  • The Vibe: The sharpest tool in the box. Originally engineered as a low-speed, high-acutance (sharpness) film for bright daylight, this 2007 stock has resisted age-related breakdown beautifully.

  • What to Expect: Mellowed, soft pastel color shifts, creamy highlights, and an incredibly fine, tight grain structure that retains fantastic edge detail.

  • Shooting Guide: Rate at ISO 25 or 50 (overexpose by 1 to 2 stops) in full, direct sun.

2. Jessops Diamond Everyday 200 (36exp) — Expired 2005/2006

  • The Vibe: The ultimate mid-2000s time capsule. This was the workhorse film found in almost every family camera bag across the UK, famously rebranded from high-quality European or Japanese master emulsions (often Agfa or Fuji).

  • What to Expect: A gorgeously retro, lo-fi aesthetic characterized by warm golden-amber midtones, slightly faded greens, and an authentic "found photo" texture.

  • Shooting Guide: Rate at ISO 50 or 64 (overexpose by roughly 1.5 to 2 stops) for optimal color rescue.

3. Jessops Diamond Max 400 (36exp) — Expired 2006

  • The Vibe: The gritty, high-speed underdog. As a 400-speed consumer stock, time has acted like an amplifier on its chemistry, turning it into a wonderfully moody, experimental medium.

  • What to Expect: Snappy, high-contrast frames with heavy, prominent grain and unpredictable, painterly color drifts—frequently leaning into deep magenta or copper-toned shadows.

  • Shooting Guide: Because high-speed films build up base fog faster, you must feed this roll extra light. Rate at ISO 100 (overexpose by 2 stops) and stick to bright daylight.
