Fresh from Japan, my latest Sailor Professional Gear - the Sailor-Mitsukoshi "Dandelion" Demonstrator LE:

(The Dandelion LE was produced in a limited edition of 50 pens.)

 

This is the tenth Professional Gear I have added to my collection - and it is gorgeous!

 

My sincere thanks go to Jim, who acquired this pen for me. He somehow persuaded the Mitsukoshi department store in Nihonbashi to sell him two Dandelions - when the limit was a firm one-per-customer. ;)

 

More photos will soon follow, plus a review of the pen and the yellow-green Sailor ink which was specially made to compliment the pen body.

 

I am one very happy girl! :cloud9:

Sheesh! they're like potato chips aren't they? Can't have just one.

 

I'm not tempted by this - demos make me nervous. But i can envision having every available color of the Sapporo mini someday (and the standard Sapporo). Fortunately, the regular Pro Gear is too big for me. Whew!

Gracious, what a cool pen! And very pretty too! I also want a Pro Gear, but can't decide which color because I haven't seen them in person and I like all three new colors :rolleyes: . Oh boy. Yes, they're ALL like potato chips, and especially when they're this nice!

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
