Well pen fans I recently found a deal and need a place to brag. Oh wait a minute. I'm a Canadian, we don't brag... we SHARE! :) Sharing the wealth, I believe that's what it's called these days. :) Enjoy the rest of the reading.

Good deal and nice writing! Looks like the nib mod was worth every penny. Nice to see the shading on that ink.

Thank you for an interesting review. And congrats on a great deal.

 

I think think the Expert II is a very underrated pen. I have three of them, and I have yet to pay retail for one - but I did not get as good a deal as you. I happen to have one with a factory B nib - and I like it as is. But my product on paper doesn't look as good as yours. :thumbup:

A super deal indeed! Enjoyed your thoughts on this pen as well as the handwriting.

JELL-O, IT'S WHATS FOR DINNER!

What a coincidence...

I was also offered a Waterman Expert for my birthday, some weeks ago - though not so nice looking, it is greyish. But it is far from the most interesting pen I have - I did get some nice ones for my birthday, offered or bought on that pretext. I wasn't seeing myself using that waterman as is, so I am just about to order a cursive nib for it. That should bring some interest to the poor pen - I haven't inked it yet...

And after seing this, sepia seems a nice color to use with a cursive nib!

Nice! Was that an eBay find?

 

Yes, I did a bit of surfing on eBay and landed a bargain. :)

great pen and handwriting

In the days gone by, people believed that if a person touched an object, that object would form a bond with a part of their soul.

Today such a thought seems almost absurd....Until you enter the realm of Montblanc's master craftsmen.

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
