Hello everyone .

I do like photography and my main interest revolves around Macro photography ( Insects ) .

I hope to share pictures of my budget pens ( Mainly Chinese fountain pens + a few others ) .

The plan is to do some reviews , and to that end one needs decent product images .

So hopefully I will get my act together for when I am ready to do reviews ( not to long in the future )

I hope you enjoy the images ...

Cameras :

 

Pentax K10D with Pentax A 50mm F2.8 1:2 Macro lens with drinky cup flash .

Pentax K20D with Pentax K100mm F4 1:2 Macro lens wit ha 50mm lens reversed in front for 2:1 Macro with a drinky cup flash with a tissue to diffuse light . ( NIB Shots )

 

Drinky cup flash = Was developed to put light where needed on a budget . It is important in macro to put light at the focus point in front of the lens .

The main purpose of the drinky cup flash was to cater for my shorter 50mm lenses ( Macro ) , as most flashes will push light over the top of the subject .

      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
