Lamy joins a Gemstone Club with their new series of "originally" named inks. As much as I'm excited about new Lamy inks, I loathe their lack of creativity. Call it a pet peeve but when I see another line of inks inspired by gemstonjes, I clench my teeth.



Anyway, the bottles and packaging look cool.

The ink is strongly saturated. It's intense, strong, and vivid. Also, it behaves well. I would say that if you look for well behaved and strong ink in a similar color, look no more.

The bottles look to have a wide opening, better to accommodate #6 and larger nibs.

 

Another great review Vis. I was looking at reviews for Bungubox Ink of the Witch, and the Color Chooser would not load. My plan was to use your color values to compare the Witch ink to Diamine Eclipse.

 

It does not matter now as I have no plans to spend that much on inks now.

Thank you for the review! It looks interesting, but not tempting enough for me.

Great review thank you. As I suspected it looks nothing like any peridot I've ever seen but I actually quite like the colour.

It reminds me a little of Diamine November Rain.

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

Hi Mike

I find it very puzzling that this ink can't be purchased in Germany. Do you know why it's like that ? There's so many mysteries with Lamy .

You can get all of them in Germany. A stationary shop in Berlin (hello, lapis!) is Moranga, they have the whole line for ca. 10€ each.

No affiliation, just a happy customer.

 

Edited as the €-sign got lost somehow. (?)

Still annoyed that EUR9.50 translates to AUD30 when they sell here :( price of living downunder.

(T50s are EUR7.00 = AUD20)

I'm a bit surprised you don't hate the colour!

 

I received 4 Lamy t53 this afternoon. This one is so incomparably ugly, you have to see it for real, that i am even hesitating to give it away.

Okay, okay, since there are some Lamy things I love, I thought I'd whip it out and buy the grey version of this line. It writes okay, looks okay, is wet and has lube. But the bottle is a catastrophe.

 

The neck's inside diameter of 28.5 mm is of course wide enough, even for my M1000, unlike those of the 1670 Herbins or 30-ml Diamines, but the (straight, vertical) height of the ink is only 19 mm, and that is just not deep enough for its complete nib length of 27 mm. It was hard (maybe impossible) to fill that pen from a full bottle of this ink -- even with both bottle and pen dangerously tilted -- and will become only more and more difficult in the up and coming future.

 

However, I must conclude that although the slightly triangular, oval glass bottle's cross-section is maybe a matter of taste, its cap's design and function are absolutely excellent.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
