What Chinese Pens Are You Using Today?

I've mentioned this before, but you take the pix with your phone (ipad, etc.) and then email those pix to yourself. Then on your computer open those emails and save the picture attachments. Then they are on your computer and you can upload those pix to FPN.

It's far more efficient to use something like Box or Dropbox instead.

I use postimage.org when I need to, but I find it much easier to upload directly from my computer where that's allowed.

I may not have been much help, but I DID bump your thread up to the top.

I like the Ling Mo Lorelei but have not yet seen it on ebay. I enjoy Chinese pens and have ordered a number of them. My best working one is the one in the Picture. My Jinhao. It writes beautifully. I hope my photo is uploaded correctly. I am trying to learn how to do it.

How odd: I have seen them on eBay for quite some time; perhaps a search using the string "Lorelei fountain pen" might bring up something?

No, I am not going to list my pens here.

Finally starting my debut in Chinese pens with the typical Jinhao X750. I was in doubt when buying it, but I have no regret now. I like how wet it is, though I wish it could be smoother.

That beeswax yellow Lorelei is quite the looker, as are the blue and green cracked ice ones.

I did find the Lorelei, and the Picasso 915 is a beauty. A fountain pen habit can be a little pricey even with chinese pens. I have tried to limit myself to canadian 10.00 pens. The exchange rate is dreadful at the moment 75 cents canadian to 1 dollar US. I am awaiting some pretty pens though. Perhaps next time I order (after this lot arrives) I shall get a 20.00 canadian pen, I have a couple of Dikiwans but have not seen any lately. The free shipping simply cannot be matched. I was amazed that one pen batch made it to me in nine days. the rest will probably be another month.

With some 12000 micromesh, you will be able to smooth the nib on your Jinhao X750.

Ooohh thanks for the tip! I guess I'll try it soon.

with some adjustment and micromesh you can get the nib super smooth!

Beautiful pen! What is this Jinhao called and where did you buy it?

      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
