My New Dolcevita

Recommended Posts

Picked up my new Delta DolceVita Piston Filler yesterday from the post office. I purchased it from Bryant at Pentime. Great price, very quick delivery! A very big thank you to Bryant!! (no affiliation)

 

This pen is just fantastic! Even my wife, who tolerates my addiction to watches and fountain pens, was startled at the beauty of the barrel and the overall build quality. After a good rinsing I filled it with Waterman Noire ink and then took it for a test drive. Wow! The fine nib is buttery smooth! Very good balance for, what I consider, a large pen.

 

I'm very happy with this purchase!

I am as happy with my DV OS now as I was that magical day I bought it...

truly a grail pen! It really likes Noodler's Dragon's Napalm, and

refuses to drink anything else!

I also purchased my DV piston filler from Bry and absolutely love the pen. It garners more comments than almost any other pen that I own. Love the feel, balance, construction and the fine nib. It really is a great pen, I have certainly paid more for pens and gotten a lot less. Congrats on your new baby.

      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.
