A great ink in a loud pen, I've written a review on this pen-ink combo. Here are the scans and a few pictures of the pen and ink bottle.

Wow, very nice. I enjoy purples. Now, tell us your thoughts ... are you purple ink, yellow pen kinda person?

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

I have been wanting to get my wife her first real fountain pen. Would this be a good choice? If so, why, and if not, why? Thanks

The Lamy Safari/Al Star/Vista (ABS plastic/aluminum/demonstrator) is a very good first pen. The section while not to everyone's liking does help someone who is new to fountain pens to learn to hold the pen correctly.

Different pen, different nib and different paper - make the same ink look different.

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.
