How about some nice pictures of journals? Here's one of TMLee's great creations with a Ranga 3C.

Just received this pen this week: a Delta Dolcevita Oversize with Vermeil accents and Broad nib. Love the orange color.

This is a Markings Journal. Same form factor as a Moleskine but more fountain pen friendly at half the cost.

Here's a journal from ... well, I forget. Picked it up at Scriptus. Couple of Jinhao 159s on top.

 

The 159s are great pens, but I have mixed feelings about them - and about cheap Chinese pens in general. The pluses - I like a larger pen so the shape of the 159 suits me. The pen writes well and reliably, like most Jinhaos. Fit and finish are much better than you would expect in a $6 pen.

 

However, the test of use comes up short. I do not tend to carry any of my Jinhaos regularly. It's either a higher end pen, or an ebonite Ranga 3 with a Jowo nib from FPNibs (see first post in this thread). That Ranga totals about $60, so I admit the comparison is unfair.

 

Why so little love for the 159? Well, it tends to dry its converter fairly quickly. I find that really annoying. The nib works well, but is a characterless round nail. I tend to prefer something a bit more exotic. The general appearance (fat, colorful cigar) is amusing, but the details are a bit trashy. Finally, the weight is high for carrying in a shirt pocket. Not impossible but also not optimal. End result, I reach for something else.

Here is my Manufactus journal with the Pelikan Mocha I use to write in it with. The Peli comes equipped with the 14K nib customized by Richard Binder into a broad stub. Filled with Parker Penman Sapphire

That looks vibrant.

What nib is on your Delta Dolcevita?

Great pictures, Christof, and the journals are lovely. What is that first pen? I've never seen one quite like it.

[christof]

It's a Soennecken 222 Extra from 1950's. Great pen, fantastic celluloid!
