Limited production of 200...

 

If I'm not mistaken, there are many safari fan in the forum...

 

Should we try to get a special FPN version? It was mentioned earlier, and I second this. 200 sounds feasible!

 

Any other interested?

 

What about a purple with a lime green clip :P

For sale: nothing!

Looking for: money!

To Buy: Visconti Titanium Skeleton, Omas Ogiva Demo (HT Piston filler), Stipula Etruria nuda, other demos :P

I'm most interested. I was actually thinking purple with a lime green clip would be nice. Joker colors.

While I'm not hot about the suggested colours, how exactly do we go about placing a mass order for a custom Safari?

Now we are talkin'! I was just about to ask if Hans-Peter had the contacts to set this up. Let me know if I can be of any help.

I saw a sample of the Raspberry Al-Star yesterday and it looks quite nice. Not too "girly" for a bloke! It will be available in May alongside the new Ocean Blue Al-Star.

Given the obvious interest just in the Safari, as evidenced by this thread alone, I raise the question yet again: Is it not viable and worthwhile to create and maintain a separate Lamy Brand Focus Forum? I understand that someone would have to volunteer to administer such a project but, if somebody were to step forward, could it not be organised?

The "new" Ocean Blue? - are they just making the special edition run into a permanent model Or is it a change/mode upgrade involved?

New in the sense that it is not available in all markets. My understanding is that it will be part of the core range.

I hope one of those markets in the US! I have already been looking for a good waterproof raspberry ink :roflmho:

 

Yes, I am one of those!

I'll be so happy to see the Ocean Blue coming into the UK market. I was going to get my mom to bring one over but maybe I'll wait, now...

You know, you are right. I like chocolate with raspberries too. In fact, my favorite microbrew is a chocolate raspberry coffee stout! so,yes, brown will do too. :thumbup:

Not to take this thread too far OT, but since we are talking about custom colors, let me suggest a Safari with with the Balloon scheme? Kind of a color version of the Vista:

Thanks to the help of a kind FPNer I got my hands on the blue and yellow SE this week. I was setting up to take some pen pictures this weekend and I took the opportunity to set up one of my Safaris together. I am missing a few but most of the standard colors and LE's are represented. Here you have the Safari trainwreck...

And here is a bit more orderly one:

I think I have to vote for burgundy if we get the opportunity to make an FPN special.

That single picture will represent my Safari quest for the next few years...

 

Is there one missing?

 

Thanks

Terracotta Red? The demonstrator?

 

And I'm curious about the orange one with a black clip on the leftmost. Which model is that?

      Bits and bobs to bring with me to in-person meets

      By stylographile · Posted

      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!

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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.
