With most of my pens out for adjustment, I've inked up the last 2 remaining at home: my stalwart Parker 88 and my new favorite pen: the Phileas.

Both are M nibs with Black Quink.

M800 and Laban Cigar

Visconti van Gogh Maxi in black, F nib.

Pelikan M200 with a B stub M400 nib by John Mottishaw and Namiki Herringbone F Binderized.

Today's pens: Levenger Kyoto True Writer with P.R. Tanzanite (almost empty, then I'll fill it with Levenger Cocoa), and a Namiki VP (fine point) filled with Namiki Blue.

Today,this last day of the week(vacation starts tomoroow!!Yay!)i will be using my newly nib-adjusted Visconti Van Gogh Blue.

JD

Omas Ogiva, Waterman LeMan 100, MB146. I also have a filled Visconti voyager with beautiful flexible nib with me but I use it less often since its just too flexible for my office work --- writes great though.

same as always since the middle of january: the pelikan grand place with the 18k medium nib it came with.

Today i'm using my script italic nibbed Louie Cartier pen, a Lamy swift for quick notes and i'm using a mini dolce vita orange delta pencil for sketching and other stuff.

I have not contributed here for some time.

The pens I am using today are:

• Pelikan Go, Pendemonium's stub nib, Noodler's Blue
• Pelikan M200, Pendemonium's stub, Noodler's Blue Black
• Omas Milord (full size, dark brown), Noodler's Sawaro Wine
• Platinum Music Pen, Pelikan Violet

Lots of letters are waiting for me.

Alejandro, you have inspired me! It never occurred to me to ask Pendemonium to stub a Go.

I have been using a Parker Sonnet quite a bit lately for work and on-the-go. Fine nib and black Quink, it is an all-around work-horse combination which I appreciate. Also, I have the matching MP for the Sonnet, which is always a plus in my book.

As much as I like the Waterman Phileas, it is more bulk than I care to pack around in a shirt pocket, so it is my at-home pen. (Medium nib and Tanzanite ink.)

However, I just received a Waterman Maestro in the mail from Yiterp. (I already had the pencil, and wanted the FP to match.) I loaded it up with some Noodler's Legal Lapis and it writes beautifully. I like the nib a lot. It seems a tad broader than the fine nib on my Sonnet; it is certainly smoother. I tried it on a few different kinds of paper and it writes well on everything I've tried so far, including my Moleskine, which are so often derided for feathering and bleed-through, neither of which occurred with this pen/ink.

So the Sonnets will get a rest and the Maestros will take over shirt pocket duty.

But! ... there is a Sailor 1911M on its way from The Pear Tree. Who knows how this will change things?

Today, (well, tonight), I'm playing with my Skyline, which arrived in the post today. Lovely!

the Parker 51 loaded with Noodler's Hunter!

I used my Sheaffer's TM Sentinel Touchdown set. Ahh what a nice pen...

Morning Taki

M800 and Sheaffer

Moning JD,

I think I'll be using the same pens as yesterday.

How do you take your pen photos for this thread and what program do you use to edit/crop? I am a very bad photographer, and currently I have Canon software that came with my camera and picasa but not really like either of them. Any tips for a novice?

Dannitu 100 and Hero 100 , my two all-time favourites !!!

Since I have the sailor with naginata togi medium fine nib, I write all days with it...For me it's the best nib I have...

Just one FP today and a pencil, yellow Sailor M1911 with Parker Quink Black, and vintage Parker pencil.

Dawn

Just one for me today. The Parker 51 in this picture, loaded up with Pelikan Blue.

Morning Taki, I over slept and someone else made the coffee, bleah.

M800 and a Woodie.

NOOOO!!! I forgot to bring my FP and pencil to school today!!! AHHh! The horror!! Whatever will I do?! I guess I'll just bring it Monday...

While typing away on the laptop (up to pg 237 of 300 page ms), making notes with Waterman Charleston (Pelikan violet), Parker Sonnet (Noodlers Ottoman Azure), and Parker Duofold (PR Blue Suede). I'm enjoying taking notes more than typing

Today was just my Parker Vacumatic. Silver, with GF trim and a great fine/med two tone nib. Filled with a mixture of Quink Washable blue and Blue Black. This thing is slowly replacing my "51"s as my go to. If only it had a GF cap...

Just for a change -
MB149, Stipula Etruria - both Watermans Black
Parker 61 % DJ "51" - Watermans Fl Blue/Purple 50/50

Morning Taki. New pen? Impulse buying will be our doom.

XEZO and M800

Haven't decided which pen yet. Was supposed to go to Omaha today but staying home due to ice,snow and gusting wind.

Many more pens than usual:

Esterbrook J with Parker Blue-Black
Pilot 78G with Parker Permanent Blue
Pelikan M200 with Diamine Umber
Esterbrook SJ with Sheaffer Blue-Black
Retro 51 with Waterman's Green

All change, today, bringing out little'n'large:

Pelikan M405, Binder Italifine, Diamine Monaco Red
Danitrio raw ebonite Takumi, flexy F, Diamine WES Imperial Blue

And I'm trying out winedoc's NOS Dani 3-pen leather case. Fits the Takumi perfectly, and swamps the Pel in a very snug fashion

For me...the VP and the 51.

Hey Tak...Kara and I are thinking of heading up to Ames tonight to see Delirium at Hilton, if the weather holds. I'm thinking at least two hours of travel time, though.

Got my new Churchill filled up with Waterman black, and my newly Greg Minuskin stubbed Pelikan 800 filled with Noodlers luxury blue.

Good morning Taki
We had a Tornado watch yesterday, I went to bed.

Laban and M800

Today I inked up an Esterbrook J with Noodlers Luxury Blue and am keeping my recently acquired Churchill in the ring.

Just filled up a Duofold Mosaic for work next week and after reading the forums trying to clean out two 61 capillaries, hopefully to fill and use later in the week.

Just got a few new bottles of Noodlers in (Red-Black, Navajo Turquoise, and Cactus Green), so trying a few different inks. Got my VP filled with Namiki Blue (cartridge), my Lamy Safari with Red-Black, and currently filling my Lamy Studio with the Turquoise.
