O. K. Is it my imagination, or does it look like the Lamy Al Star Pacific?

A bit, yes. See the photo spread at the link to compare the Bluegreen, Pacific, and Turmaline. IN the spectrum of AlStar issues, I was hoping for something not blue and not green to add to my collection so I won't be buying this turmaline for myself, lovely as it is. However, I can think of two friends who would be delighted by the turquoise hue so I may end up with a few anyway.

I ride a recumbent, I play go, I use Macintosh so of course I use a fountain pen.

I didn't like the Pacific enough to buy one. And this one is even more teal leaning. I'll pass....

There is a real difference in color, but it's disappointing to see the Turmaline offered so soon after the Pacific, especially when the Pacific became part of the standard color offerings.

I guess I must be going color blind. It just looks a tad bit more green that the Pacific. While I really like these colors, I am not inspired to buy another.

I'll wait to see it at the b&m shop but I kind of like it. I didn't buy the Pacific Ocean because it was to bright for me, let's see this one.

 

Until now I have only three Al-star and they are all warm color (red, dark purple and copper orange). Maybe time for a cold one.

My first and only Lamy is a 2017 Pacific Al Star. The reason was $17 and free ink. I came to love the color. This one looks to close to a repeat for me to be interested. I carry the Lamy in my messenger bag so, it's always there. It is filled with Waterman Tender Purple. Love the pen.

New Lamy pens are coming.

 

Apparently you represent someone or something. Thank you for the photo that includes the auxiliary pieces in the series. Please post more!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
