Thanks for the review. I have this ink (Chesterfield name) and like it quite a bit. How do you get the chromatography - water around the edges?

This 'R2' revision of the original is such an improvement. I don't keep it in my rotation as often as I should. Great review - as always.

When did they change V1 -> V2?

I am no longer very active on FPN but feel free to message me. Or send me a postal letter!

I'd guess about June 2012. I did a scan in August that year and spoke to Phil at Diamine a bit before then. Any slight clogging problems with the 'original' that some people had reported, in some pens, had been addressed and R2 is much less 'teal'. I've still got a bottle of the first one and it's a great ink. It's just that the new one is a nicer blue-black. The 150th anniversary 1864 Blue-Black is the cream though, in my opinion.

      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.
