Hello there,

I'm new to using fountain & dip pens. I just received today a Ranga handmade ebonite dip pen. It's a beautiful pen, good weight. It writes very very well too. I can see using this pen for many years to come. Holds a lot of ink too, a single small dip was good for about 1/3 of a page in a tsubame b5 5mm graph notebook. I think a larger dip might produce a 1/2 page of writing.

This is a really nice pen.

My brand new Franklin Christof stabilis 66, a prototype in transparent bottle green with a brushed aluminium section and a SIG (a stub italic gradient) medium nib, eyedroppered with Kwz IG turquoise. I spent an hour at the DC show testing nibs at the the FC table--and had SO much fun.

 

Also, a Twsbi Mini with Kobe #36 and a Pelikan 200 with FC Spanish Blue (a wonderful blue ink).

      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
