I voted for Lamy since all their designs as a whole are a superb exercise in elegant simplicity but my favorite design overall in a single pen is the Pilot Myu M90, now that is a thing of beauty.

I agree for the Myu 90 (uncapped) and for the Lamy 2000 uncapped. They follow closely the ultimate in FP elegance: the Cross Verve (capped as well as uncapped).

Of the pictures I've seen in this thread, my favorite would be the Tibaldi Iride posted by Richard (I've seen also the pics on his review of this pen).

From the brands listed, my vote goes to Waterman but this is a close call, as I love the appearance of several Montblancs, in particular of some vintages, although I don't own any.

I'm a user, baby.

 

We love what we do not possess. Plato, probably about pens.

Montblanc: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=31656

MB design is the best when they don't get too complicated.

 

I love the Pilot MYU's nib integration, but that is only one pen from the company.

Montblanc 145, F nib
Faber Castell E-Motion in Pearwood, F nib
Montblanc 149, F nib
Visconti Divina Proporzione 1618, S nib
Montblanc Cool Blue Starwalker, EF nib
Montblanc Solitaire Silver Barley BP
Montblanc Rouge et Noir Coral, M nib

Montblanc of course with their Masterpiece line and 1920's domed shaped designed like in the Agatha, Schiller...etc

Respect to all

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
