Hello FPN.

This is my first review of a pen, so please bear with me.

I just got this nice little pen on mail today after three months ( yep, that´s correct, unfortunately ) waiting for customs liberation... Gotta love them!!

Anyway, I got so happy I decided to make a review.

This is a pen I bought from a member ( wetnoodlepens ) here in FPN.

First, the looks:

Not much to say, black with holden accents. Rather small. Body says "Duocraft Brooklyn NY" Nib says "Warranted 14K 5"

And thast´s about it. Nothing special, nothing ugly.

But, man oh man, when I inked it and put it on paper... WOW!!!

Very smooth stub, about 1.5 mm, decent variation on down/side strokes. And then I started playing with flex... and was totally blown over!! Huge line variation with very little pressure!! Great flow, nice responsiveness!! And look at that shading!!!Needless to say I was a very very happy geek!!

Anyway, that´s about what I wanted to say. Just wanted to share the happiness. Please tell me if you want me to add something, I´m a rather economic writer

Thank you very much!!

Thiago

      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.
