Tesco Colour 400 24exp - Expired 2001

Capture a nostalgic slice of British retail history. This is an authentic, original 24-exposure roll of Tesco Colour 400 35mm film, expired 2001.

During the 1990s analog boom, UK high-street giant Tesco offered its own store-brand film line—often manufactured under white-label contracts by major film powerhouses like Agfa, Konica, or Ferrania. Aged over 25–30 years, these rolls offer analog shooters, lo-fi portrait artists, and experimental photographers a chance to capture wild, unpredictable colour shifts, heavy textured grain, and moody vintage tones.

The Highlights

• A Pure Piece of 1990s UK Nostalgia: Featuring the classic vintage Tesco branding, this film is a rare find for collectors of UK high-street memorabilia and analog history.

• Wild, Aged Experimental Character: High-speed 400 ISO colour films experience significant chemical breakdown over three decades. Expect distinct lo-fi traits—including heavy organic grain, atmospheric base fog, squashed contrast, and unique pastel or magenta colour shifts.

• Classic 24-Exposure Format: The perfect roll length for a weekend project, testing vintage point-and-shoot cameras, or capturing a dedicated single-concept photo series.

• Standard Lab Processing: Despite its store-brand vintage origin, Tesco Colour 400 is a standard colour negative stock. It requires no special chemical baths and can be safely developed at any modern photo lab or home darkroom using standard C-41 chemistry.
