This may be too little, too late, but I hate breaking promises, so here's the comparison (and a little more)

6. PenBBS 350

7. Michael's Fatboy Stealth

Lucky! I wanted one of those Fatboy fountain pens, but they don't make them anymore, do they?

 

I have yet to try a Namisu and I've heard good things so it might be an opportunity.

Its not too late Joseph, I really appreciate your posting this. The emotion is too short for me but otherwise would have been really comfortable. I dont trust the orion section shape to be comfortable but I'll look at their other pens. Do they have any threading issues?

Yeah, it was pure, luck. I was at a pen show and I passed by a booth where some guys had a table full of random pens. Neither guy really knew what it was.

Glad I could still be of service. I don't have threading issues like I've had with some other pens.

Unfortunately, the customer service and quality control issues that many people experienced with Namisu's previous Kickstarter campaigns are legion, and attempts to assist them by pointing out the benefits of hiring a customer service representative or selling through trusted retailers are falling on deaf ears - indeed they even seem to be blocking people from raising such concerns on social media. Some of the pens have been good in the past but I would struggle to recommend the company until it gets its house in order.

      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.
