I am as well. One of the things I like most about it is the high quality of the photography and the lighting. Look at the textures of the wall and the label on the bottle. Perhaps we could hear from the OP about the camera and lens being used while we are waiting for the next refill. :)

I am certain that if you put the pictures side by side, at the end, it will be quite artistic.

 

Still following. ;)

Three refills and we're on the third page of this topic. At this rate, it will be awhile.

 

I couldn't wait; I got out my bottle of Tsuki-Yo and poured it down the sink. Now I know how this topic will end.

I'm still trying to figure out how to list all my pens down here.

Please don't post a picture and spoil the ending for us! :-) This is better than any reality tv program out there. Edited by rickygene

Ah, camera and lens...

Take a wild guess (FYI: not the cheapest one, not the most expensive. Must've been like €500 or so when I bought it like 2years ago)...

So it's not Russian and it's not Leica or Hasselblad. Nikon or Canon, perhaps. Are you using a tripod and shutter release cable? These photos are very sharp, and I would have guessed Leica.

Well, these weeks've been slow. First I had a few pens taken care of by Fountainbel. So filled those up first (none of them with Tsuki-Yo, I have strict combinations pen-inkt). Then I just finish a week of holiday (so little writing).

In normal times, the Vac700 (1.1 stub) with Tsuki-Yo is one of my 3 pens I take to work ( the two others vary). And, in normal conditions, a 1.5 stub Lamy vista with Tsuki-Yo is my desk pen at home. That'll have to wait a few more days till the Lamy Studio runs out of Diamine Grape.

So normally, this should be the slowest Tsuki-Yo weeks of the year. :wacko:

It's a Samsung S4. Held with the long side on my desk. Using daylight. :rolleyes:

 

 

Very impressive. Just shows you what can be achieved when you eliminate camera shake.

I've decided it was a mistake. I went to fill a pen with Tsuki-Yo and realized I had none, just a nice, empty bottle. (Don't worry, no photos!) So I had to order a new bottle. Patience, I need more Patience!

Of course, 'cause you're a doc and docs always need more patients.

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

This is actually a really funny and amusing idea! As others have said, keep going!

 

Oh I will. I've written like 18 pages this afternoon, so the VAC starts to run low...

      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
