Hero 616 review


Dillo

Recommended Posts

Since this thread was revived anyway, I will chime in and say that I recently discovered the hero 616 and rather like it a lot. Its got a nice fine nib, a decent wet flow, and its a smooth writer. This $2 pen is an amazing value, and the writing experience is excellent.

I just ordered 10 of these for $6 on ebay. I look forward to trying something like a Parker 51...and having spares I guess. :lticaptd: Can't beat the price and I love the utilitarian vintage look. Already can't wait to try them!

I have a Hero 616 Small , a Hero 616 Jumbo , a Hero 616 Jumbo (golden cap) and a Hero 616-2 (2014) . Do i miss something in Hero 616 family ? Ideas for other pens, in the Hero 616 family !!!!

I love Fountain Pens, with hooded nib in the classic style, Parker 51/61 type .

Or one of those custom crafted barrel ; I ha two wooden barrel for my 616 small and needless to say it instantly put the pen up a tier or two in the aesthentics and certainly look expensive ; luxury and quite fashionable. The most expensive one I know of is actually a custom crafted solid Titanium version of the 616. Its way overkill shall I say it

This is a good pen, I have been leaving them in public places Johnny Appleseed fashion to promote fountain pen usage.

      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

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
