Mine was loose prior to posting. I noticed immediately upon handling the pen out of the box. I'll do a fix order with Conklin. ... love it though ... it's a statement sorta pen.

Only knock on pen so far is posting - in making entries into my journal ast night the cap flew off twice. It's a fantastic writer so far - a bit of flex and writes on wet side (mine is med nib) which I like. I left it sitting horizontal several times for 10-15 minutes just to test it, and it started writing immediately afterwards. That nib is something else! But the posting seems to be an issue.

I, too, have had the chrone ring begin to spin. Please share how your repair order with conklin goes.

I recently picked up a red/brown stylograph with a stub nib on Massdrop for the ridiculously low price of $54.00, including shipping. The nib is smooth and wet and writes wonderfully. Wish I had bought more for gifts.

I love my Stylograph.It's beautiful and the size and weight is also good for woman-sized hands. I have the stub nib which is so nice for lettering and calligraphy. I'd like to add a flex nib to it, I assume you can switch out nibs for these, has anyone tried this?

I have this in a fine and it's a great pen. I was using it at work but I'll likely retire it from there for now - I've got other pens I'll use there. When it comes back on Massdrop for that price, or close to it, I'll be absolutely getting another (or two!).

I have this pen in the brown/grey model. It writes absolutely beautifully. The medium nib is just slightly on the finer side, which suits me perfectly. I have not experienced any issues with posting, but the black-painted end cap is already losing its finish.... the end cap is a brass-color metal underneath and the black paint is not terribly sturdy (I'm quite careful with my pens, so it has not been abused in any way).

 

 

Overall, it's an excellent pen that people notice when it is used. The multi-color barrel and cap are truly gorgeous.

Thanks for the review. I'm considering buying this pen (as I do really love both my duragraphs,) and this gave me all the information I need to go ahead with the purchase.

      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.
