I thought I'd put together a shot showing some of the different sizes of the Opera collection from Visconti. The 'Squaring the Circle' design has proven to be a big hit and Visconti has issued it in a variety of sizes. I picked up the biggest size, the Opera Master Demo pen, in DC. After that I realized I had five different sizes, and figured they'd make a good spread.

From left to right:
Opera Master Demo. The largest size.
Kakadu LE. Uses the high pressure filler.
Gold Point. As long as the Kakadu, but slimmer. Probably because it's a c/c filler.
Aida. Beautiful celluloid.
Opera Club. Red marble, purchased in Florence.

I'm not surehow the Wall Streets fit into this- I know the LE is bigger than the regular production pen.

Very nice display there Doug, thanks for the effort. I have been lead to believe that the Wall Street LE and the Kakadu are about the same size. I have considered the Kakadu but have always been sidetracked to something else. Thanks for the photos.
