I am really very enthusiastic about the faceted capless!

Thanks for another great shot :)

 

Just give me the Parker 51s and nobody needs to get hurt.

Very nice photo. Love the crisp, precise and perfectly matching monochrome shades.

..there's nothing like RHR.

Well these have held up very well!  And those metal bands look very shiny!

Wonderful photographs, as usual.

Currently most used pen: Parker 51 Aerometric <F> -- filled with Waterman Mysterious Blue ink.

@christof Nice collection you've got there.  Including the Blue Vac -- that's my favorite color of the "Pearls", even though my favorite one to write with is the Red Shadow Wave (just was using it this morning for today's journal entry); and the 61 (not a color I have and it's nice that yours still has the cap arrow -- half of mine don't).

I really love those Parker shots, they are stunning. The Lamy photo is also very ingenious. Nice work once again Christof. Happy New Year!

I love this photo. It's so distinguished and mysterious, but the nib and other metal elements are clearly visible :)

Is there a forum thread with tips on how to take photos of pens?

Thank you. I think there also are other threads about how to take pen pictures, but in this thread,  you will find explanations how I do. For example here: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/topic/355594-pen-photography/#comment-4358438

      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

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
