hahaha! OP here. Jessops is the biggest camera specialist in the United Kingdom. I always wondered if any britfags on /p/ were native to the Jessops stores, as for most people to attain the knowledge on most avaliable lenses and camera bodies they would need either a heavy wallet or some serious time on the internet listening to the opinions of people who have managed to handle and review the products.

I get to play/ loan /experiment with any gear that is in the shop and spend the day talking to other photography enthusiasts about them.

Tomorrow I get my hands on a Canon 5d mark II...gonna pop a f2.8 L 70-200 on it to test and blast some shots in the service yard before I start.

Try the 85mm L USM 1.2 on the new Canon 5D -- its what I use a lot because it is my favorite. It will blow your DICK OFF!

I don't think that happened for real. Nice imaginary story.

Actually it wasnt quite that short.. but essentially true story. I asked the girl behind the counter if they developed 120 film, she wavered, asked the other assistant, he wavered and said "im not sure". After checking a list he said yes but not for a (yashicamat) 6x6.

But isnt 6x6 like the most popular MF film?

Store? Employee?

Jessops is the worst camera shop in Albion. Everything is overpriced and the staff know nothing. I see it as being like the McDonalds of the camera trade.

It isn't. Preordered it two weeks ago, paid £1750.

But more to the point, you never got your hands on one did you? Considering i checked the stock level in the warehouse today, and they're still showing zero. Friday at best.

So whats it actually like working there? I mean does the company have a concentration camp attitude regarding rules / sales etc, what is the pay like (they didnt answer any of my questions via email) ?

Would just like to know what the company is like in general to work for before going for an interview, cheers.

It's not bad, there's a few good shops and a few bad ones. Depends on the manager.

There are a lot of very rude people that come though the shop.
If you haven't noticed, Jessops is all stick and no carrot. Shitty attitude throughout but it's fun to have 10 L lenses to play with on a daily basis.

The staff discount is the only reason to work there.
