New Omas Paragon size comparison


brad7k

Recommended Posts

I took a few shots showing the OMAS Paragon against a few common pens to show the relative size. I will add one with an older Omas Paragon as well when I get some time. The Omas Paragon is an outstanding pen by the way!

The pens are as follows:

 

Aurora

Omas Paragon

Mont Blanc 149

Mont Blanc 146

It looks like there have been a lot of changes in the Paragon since I got mine, including making it bigger.

This is a really good comparison. The new paragon for me is too big and metal section slippery. Having said that, I think a good alternative is the smaller milord size that appears to have a plastic section (have not checked it out yet AFA construction). If you have the hands for it the paragon is a nice pen with the added plus of being a piston filler. Thanks.

Yup, the newer Milord is a plastic section.

I had the opportunity to compare both the Milord and Paragon versions in celluloid. the Milord had a cheap feel and sound when screwing the cap on that the Paragon did not.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      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
