I think I would like the ballpoint.

I bit the bullet and ordered my first Pelikan. I believe the M205 Olivine is a nice way to start breeding. :D

A good choice, green and RT go well.

 

Let the breeding commence... :thumbup:

Anyone know if these are shipping yet? Seems like I haven't seen anyone post the obligatory "Mine came today :bunny01: " message...

I ordered mine from Pen Chalet. According to their website, they will be in stock on October 11th. I should have mine by the following Monday.

 

And yes, I will take plenty of photos when it arrives. :)

I love the color. But the M205 is a little bit too small for me, at least for longer writing. I can resist buying...for now.

Thanks folks! No, not anxious... but, uh, it seems like awhile since the last Pelikan arrived.

Mine arrived 9/27. Love the look. Nicest one since Aquamarine.

PELIKAN - Too many birds in the flock to count. My pen chest has proven to be a most fertile breeding ground.

Not being familiar with Pelican's new steel nibs ( old ones either ) I am trying to decide which to get . I tend to like a broad if there is little or no flex but have several other brands with a bit of flex that are Fine that I love . Any advice ?

I purchased a steel fine nib. Here is a bad photo for an idea.

I do not like Pelikan nibs but I am seriously tempted to get one of these. The real world colour (as opposed to Pelikan photoshop) really works for me (and yes I know I could buy a pre 1970s Pelikan and swap nibs).

I too was worried about the color when I had seen on the Pelikan site. But in person, all doubts went away. You will not be disappointed.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      @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
