Jessops Diamond Fine 100 36exp - Expired 2007

Capture a slice of British analog history with Jessops Diamond Fine 100. Positioned as the premium, fine-grain option in Jessops' mid-2000s house-brand lineup, this film was engineered for photographers who wanted maximum sharpness, rich contrast, and clean details for daylight shooting. Expired in 2007, it has spent nearly two decades transforming into a beautifully nostalgic, character-rich experimental stock.

The Highlights

• The "Fine Grain" Edge: Because this was originally a low-speed, high-resolution ISO 100 emulsion, it has held up remarkably well against the test of time. Expect a more controlled, elegant grain structure compared to faster expired stocks, retaining excellent structural detail.

• Sun-Bleached Tonal Shifts: Matured over nearly 20 years, this batch delivers a gorgeous, lo-fi aesthetic. Look out for beautiful, subtle colour drifts—often leaning into warm golden ambers, soft pastels, and creamy highlights that perfectly mimic a vintage 2000s summer archive.

• Premium European Roots: Jessops didn't manufacture their own film; they traditionally sourced their "Diamond" lineup from master emulsion builders like Agfa (often using the iconic Agfa Vista formula). You are shooting a highly capable, forgiving consumer stock.

• Full-Length 36 Exposures: With a full 36-frame count, you have plenty of real estate to play with your exposure settings, bracket your shots, and completely immerse yourself in a creative project.
