I have three out of four; they are very similar.

I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

More teals.

 

Sigh . . .

 

What? No one's offered you a Pernambuco yet?

 

Seriously, great comparison! Always appreciate your reviews.

Thanks for the comparison! I didn't vote, as I've only tried one of these (Ku-jaku). I've been wanting to try yama-dori for some time after hearing Brad rave about it on The Pen Addict podcast.

 

Another great color in this range is Diamine Eau de Nil.

Yama Dori is so excellent. It's well behaved and a perfect teal with awesome sheen.

I think Vis just sent me the L' so we can try it the next time you visit.

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

      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.
