Didn't you use up your pen budget already on the Tortoise? :P

 

Nope. I used $425, so I have $575 left.... give or take. Not counting the 2 600's I still have coming... prior pen savings. Trying to decide between another Pelikans or a MB. Of just spend the rest on ink! :yikes: :lticaptd:

I enjoy MB 146 pens, Sailor, Pilot and Platinum pens as well. I have a strong attraction to dark red and muted green ink, colors I dislike for everything but FP ink. I also enjoy practicing my handwriting and attempting to improve it. I love the feel of quality paper under a gold nib.

As someone whose ink collection is swiftly moving to surpass my pen collection in value, your gonna need more money if you really want some ink. That budget will only buy you 20-30 bottles. That might cover a thin collection of good oranges. If you leave out orange-reds and orangey-pinks of course. ;)

This is what I'm afraid of. I've only got about 30 bottles of ink now, and I know I've just scratched the surface.

It's still portable at m800 size and the nib is bigger (really holding back from saying better), I take back my earlier statement.

As far as pricing goes, some people buy iPads and other technical gizmos. I've just decided not to feel guilty anymore about buying a nice pen.

I have one coming from Igunasell. They are waiting on an EF nib for me. I just got word that it will ship next week.

      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.
