Noodlers V-Mail GI Green

Disclaimer: This is a handwritten review with one pen. The color may not always match perfectly what you see in your pens or on your screen. I try very hard to color match as much as I can with my reviews, but I cannot account for all variables. If there are huge discrepancies please discuss in the thread!

 

The complete series of inks is up for review at my site: Pens and Ink Check them out. Over the next few days I'll have them all up on FPN as well, I'm just trying to abide by the 3 a day limit!

I love that it changes colour starting from your pen as a sort of rich amazon green but drying to the colour in your review. I'd agree that ultimately it's a bit light at the end, and a little dry; but lots of fun!

I'm also underwhelmed by this V-mail GI Green. I've tried three so far, this, Rabaul Red and Midway Blue and the Blue so far is the best, I still have NAV to try though (in my cabinet).

 

The Midway Blue 's saturation level is so much higher than the Green and Red and the Orange you've posted.

I agree, actually the only color that has stayed in the rotation so far is the Midway Blue. I really like that color. The Burma Road Brown and Midway Blue are my favorites in this set.

 

Don't get me wrong, there's nothing inherently wrong with GI Green, just too light of a shade for my use.

 

Regards,

Now I'll have to try that Brown too as I have a weakness for them.

 

Thanks for your insightful reviews.

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
