Jessops and film?
« on: May 07, 2010, 11:33:09 AM »
Is it just jumping on the lomography bandwagon, film being funky, hip and trendy or a a review of he business approaches and try to address and target a certain market?
Just noticed on Twitter that Jessops in Reading is asking film users about favourite film to stock and gauging interest in providing MF film scanning and print services.
Any other in UK noticed anything in their local branches?

quoted from their Twitter page:
"Another #film related question. What's your favourite #film to shoot on? Am ordering tons of stock so let me know and I'll try to order some"
"Question for #rdg #film users. Would you like us to be able to scan and print your #mediumformat instore? If so let me know. #photography"


cheers

PS. also noticed that John Lewis website now they have a section for "analogue" cameras, being lomography cameras.

It's been years since the last time I went to a Jessops branch due to poor customer services.  The impression I had at the time was the film photographers were not welcome there anymore and we were giving them too much hassle with those "old fashion" cartridges and roll films.
