VP Arrived, not what I expected :(

It came! This nib is amazing. I haven't put much ink through it yet, but it's perfect. Just a bit of variation, and incredibly smooth.

 

I loaded it with Noodler's Swishmix Lakeshore Spruce. It's been problematic in some pens, and normally I wouldn't use it as the first ink in a new pen, but I really wanted to use this color. It's a really nice green, and suits the pen really well.

 

Anyways, it performs better than any pen I own. The rest of my pens are going to get lonely.

 

The only thing better than the pen is the service provided by Mr. Binder. The mix-up was resolved right away, and communication with Richard and Barbara was smooth. Couldn't have been better.

 

To top it off, I just heard back from Robyn at Mainstreet Pens with an estimate on Balance I sent in. Can't wait to get that restored. A good pen day, to say the least.

Hey Mike -

 

Congrats! I love it when a plan comes together.

 

Burn some ink with that new Binder nib.

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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.
