Excellent comparison makes me smile!

That's creative efficiency Bernardo. 4 pens in a 2 pen pouch. :)

I have a 3 pen pouch, but always wished I could carry a 4th pen without going for a 4 pen case which gets too bulky. This gives me a good idea.

Nice Sheaffers BTW.

 

Thanks! :thumbup:

The two central ones, yes; PFM's V and II. The one at the top is a Snorkel.

The PFM is such an interesting pen, I need to get ahold of one someday!

Agree. The Snorkel and the PFM are maybe the most interesting pens around: They combine the unique Snorkel filling system, the most intrincate filling system ever produced, with the two most original nib designs, the Triumph and the inlaid nib.

I guess I should do more research into the PFM series. They happen to be ones on my list of pens to purchase, trade. (beg, borrow or steal! LOL)

The Visconti Rembrandt isn't a very lightweight pen. About 32 grams with the cap on and a plastic converter holding about .9 ml of Sailor Jentle Blue-black inside.

 

The nib isn't Palladium, just the entry level steel nib. But here's a pic anyway...

Ooh, the nib looks nice. How are you liking it so far?

Liking the Visconti a lot... If their entry level model is this good, I wonder what the rest of their lineup is like...

I liked F because I'm just used to the thickness.

Tell us!!!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

      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
