Penbbs 469 Ergonomics


Eusorph

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I am thinking of getting a Penbbs 469 double nib pen, but I am worried about the huge 2.4 mm step up from section to barrel. I would use this pen intensely for hours on end and can't afford to get soemthing uncomfortable.

I'd like to hear from people who have this model. Thanks.

I have this pen and while I haven't written for hours with it, I do find it comfortable to use. I feel I must add that I am a short person with small hands and this might not match your experience with this pen should you buy it. As for the nibs, I thought they worked well. Nothing too special but certainly nothing remotely faulty or disappointing, they worked so that they became invisible--no need to notice or fiddle with anything.

      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.
