Great review! This was my first black ink, I like it quite a bit. One thing about it that it's smells a lot! Not an unpleasant smell, but a strong 'chemical', maybe rubbery like smell. The color changes a lot depending on the nib, I tried it on mediums and it got some shading going on which I know it's controversial for black inks. Nice to know it's really consistent on a fine nib though, I haven't tried that.

Yeah, in the EF nib, there was no shading.  Lamy Black is also very black from my EF nib but shaded a bit from my Al-Star 1.1 stub.

As I told ASD, I didn't notice a smell, but I'm started to feel tempted to go sniff the vial.... :roller1::lol:

      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

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.
