So what gives?

 

Anybody bought one?

How do they run?

Are they as beautiful in the flesh as they are in the pics?

How are the nibs?

I bought one. The pen itself is well built, very solid and a little bit on the heavy side because of the metal parts as well as a metal ended converter. The material is also nice to look at and has some depth. However, I don't really have any luck with the nib. The nib I received has some serious baby bottom and I swapped in a stub Jowo nib immediately after locating the problem under a loupe. For what I paid, it is a great deal even with the extra Jowo nib. It also comes in that nice wooden box, which I use as a storage.

      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.
