Jessops stuff was always well over priced, nearly bought a high end SLR from them years ago but it was £800 cheaper online & they would not price match

Jessops were really good years ago when I was into photography as a hobby, I got my SLR's from them, lenses, a Durst enlarger and all the paraphernalia very helpful and knowledgeable at reasonable prices even if it mean't a trip down the M1 to Leicester.  :y

Times change and either keep up or go under, it is a shame but it is the way of things.

Nowadays find what you want via the internet re specifications, find a stockist to see, feel and touch, back to the net for the cheapest .
In the case of photography the world has changed, phone or tablet snap, modify online and post,  or print, job done :(

Yep, back in the days of film and darkrooms and when there were relatively few shops they used to be good. Only recall the Norwich shop which I used to frequent when visiting relatives there.

Then they grew very fast and became a box-shifting and printing outlet only. :(

I bought my last camera from Jessops. Only because they price matched, after negotiation, and I needed it that day for my hols the next day - not that I told them that bit!

The sales girl did not know her arse from her elbow.
