I'm using a Sultan #6, filled with Robert Oster Khaki. I have also inked up a Guider egg with Akkerman (29) hofvijver grijs.post-123717-0-67060100-1483854936_thumb.jpgpost-123717-0-39126200-1483854996_thumb.jpg

Today I am using Gama Kuyil with Nib swapped with Kanwrite 35 mm Chrome EF nib and Sheaffer NNS feed. It is filled with Daytone Blue- Black ink.

My new Guider Raja eyedropper with fine nib. Just got some grease so filled up with Heart of Darkness and ready for endless note taking. I have no hesitation in saying this is the best looking pen I own and at £25 shipped a bargain.

F.P.R. Himalaya - Taj Mahal. 1.0 Stub. Ink - Diamine Burnt Sienna. The pen arrived this afternoon. Nib is smooth. Will be putting it through some paces before commenting. Do like the screw in converter--reminds me of the Monteverde Napa. fpn_1484430695__fprhimalaya.jpg

How are your stubs? There was an issue some time ago that the FPR stubs (were smooth and all but) looked too close to a Bold/rounded tip with hardly noticeable line variation.

Hero #232 Blue-Black is my Waterman Florida Blue.

Personally, I am satisfied with these 1.0 stubs. As noted they are smooth with rounded tips, not like a .true stub. However, they do aid in my 'unremarkable' handwriting. For line variation, I would use a flex nib. You can purchase a flex nib for your FPR pens. Of my Ahabs, only one has a flex nib on it.

Thanks! Sadly I'm what they call a "sidewriter" so I can't write with flex nibs. I hope you can post a writing sample of your FPR stubs :)

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
