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.

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

 

Thanks for your insightful reviews.

      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.
