What is the least expensive Visconti that is either a piston filler or a double reservoir? The cheapest I have found is the Wall Street LE, which, at $500-600, is still way too much for my budget ($700)

I think the Wall St. LE is probably one of the least expensive double reservoirs in the current Visconti catalog. For pistons, lots of sellers of discounting the 20th Anniversary Ragtime.

I could be wrong, but I believe that Bryant is selling the WSLE for far less than you mention.

Do contact Bryant. He provides good prices to FPN members and has excellent after-sale customer service if something is needed. [no aff., very satisfied customer]

I came here for the pictures and stayed for the conversation.

One of the later versions of the Ragtime can be relatively cheap when they pop up fo sale use. It's a piston filler.

+1 on Bry - and if you are interested in Visconti double reservoir pens, see if he has any more of the Opera Master Demo pens - it rocks. I take that pen everywhere and it's great for travel. I know he had some at the LA show and listed in the For Sale board here recently. You may be surprised at what a great deal he can hook you up with and service is fantastic. I've picked up several pens from him.

Another +1 for Bryant. I got my first Visconti last week from him (an Opera Elements with Palladium nib) and my only complaint is that I will soon be ordering another Visconti...grrr I'm new to this whole game but I cannot imagine a smoother writing pen. Great prices and quick quick shipping.

At first sight, it seems he only has the amber version left.

      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

      @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
