Abraxas Koenigsblau


savarez

Recommended Posts

When I first wrote this review, I made the assertion that the Abraxas Koenigsblau was nearly indistinguishable from Diamine Presidential Blue. I still feel that they are very close, and when the Q-Tip swabs went down onto the paper, I could NOT tell them apart. Once dry, however, the Diamine has more of a teal hue, leaning toward green, and the Abraxas retains more of a deeper, sapphire base color. This difference is not readily apparent until the inks dry completely, and is not easily seen on the scans.

Waterproof? Nope.

      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.
