Hi guys,

Guess i missed reading this thread. I had spoken to Subbu last week and have ordered two of these with the schmidt B nib and converter set. Once these come in, they will take my total count of naukas to 7 :)

Cheers

Hi Vaibhav,

 

Thanks for organising another great group buy. I made an order via Google form.

 

Can we think about another version of trans nauka?. The barrel, instead of the bakul finish, can have a cracked ice finish and a polished finial. The inspiration is the Franklin Christoph Model 2 intrinsic in smoke and ice finish. I think that pen is stunning when used as an eye dropper. I sent an email to Mr. Subramaniam a few days back on this, but yet to hear back.

 

What is your thought on this ?

 

Thanks,

Dinuraj

It's the "or" that caused the confusion for me. Makes it sound like a choice. :D

Now it is clear.. I guess...

Thank you for pointing this out... Will be more precise next time

For that you can send your custom acrylic blank to subramaniam and get the order placed.. But again that will be custom order

Just to be clear, I will let the order stand, if I have a blank & want a custom order I will order separately... so please keep my name on the list for the group buy...

Ordered one, incidentally it is my first from FPN group buy. Is there any comparison of the nauka's size with other pens?

People probably just filled out the form and didn't reply. I can count three people on that list who I know ordered around the same time I did and they haven't replied to the thread at all.

Does anyone know what color the clip will be?

 

Thank-you

I'd also like to know the clip color. Might help me decide between the clip or clipless. Thanks.

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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.
