The green and yellow are calling, but I'd want to see what the actual colors are like, not some misty seller photo.  

My latest ebook.   And not just for Halloween!
 

My other pen is a Montblanc.

Look like good pens. But to be honest, I can't see me carrying pastels at my age. "People" would laugh (between the normal screams of horror when they see something as ewww-gly and deformed as me.😇)

I might get a few as gifts for a couple of the staff here, though. They can use a good pen. 😁

I'd still want to see actual pictures from those who have one.


I can assure you that those who make them, Jinhao, have them too, and that their pictures are actual photographic representations of the real thing, not non-photos. 😏

While I understand what you mean - you don't trust promotional photos because their purpose is to give a favourable impression - I don't share your apprehension because the actual experience, pen in hand, cannot be exactly conveyed, no matter who the photos come from. In my experience, Jinhao's photographs are no more misleading than photographs provided by buyers. They give a fairly good indication of the colours in person. I never exclaimed upon receiving a pen from that brand, "No, you naughty Jinhao, you cheated me. The photos promised a pen worth $5.00. In reality, they are worth $4.79 at most."

Curious to compare them side by side with my Pro Gear Slim, I ordered two. If I don't like them, which I doubt, I'll give them as gifts to the uninitiated. The way I see it, the only possible loss is the loss of patience because these cheap Chinese pens take forever to arrive by container ship.

a nice set of modern nurse's pens with these colors


Yes, I think you are right. This colour palette seems to be inspired by the pastel colours of the so-called "nurse pens".

Well, the colors.  I would buy at least the yellow, but I don't want a Pikachu yellow, just a soft pastel. I could say the same of the green.

 

 I already have two Delike New Moon pens, a blue and a pink.  And they are similar in size to the Sailor Sapporo, but fall short (naturally) in terms of writing.  But the Delike were two for fifteen, so…

 

 I wonder of it's worth taking a chance on the Jinhao colors being too intense.

this Jinhao 82 screams Sailor PG or PGS all around.  Really want to see people posting a side by side picture comparing the 2.

The price seems to be around the a Kakuno?

Not really. I think it compares more to a Sailor Lecoule.

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

I always find such reference kind of hilarious , cause pretty much all the Japanese Big 3's so call flat top and cigar shaped pens are just having style that's taken from eon's back , way back to the 20's / 30's and up to those in the 50's .. I generally consider such generic styling just well generic

Even though they are exactly the same shape and size, the main difference between the Professional Gear Slim and the Lecoule is that the former has a metal connector joining the grip section and the barrel, whereas the latter is plastic and thus significantly lighter in the pen's total weight.

 

Edit:

And it looks like I was wrong about the Jinhao 82. One of the AliExpress seller's product images show far more relevant information about how much the pen weighs and how it is constructed:

490099111_Jinhao82openedup.jpg.612355a7fe8316311322d350bdd93561.jpg

 

and it looks like the model has a metal connector; as well, the pen's overall weight is far greater than that of the Sailor Lecoule.

That might be true but I think Jinhao designers had a Sailor on their double screen when they designed this one...

Which very well might be , just as Sailor's designer had in mind also , styling after some long established and proven design and that itself is nothing wrong , pens been around for thousands of years and the ergonomic pretty much all ironed out and some basic form always it's will be

 

It can be flat top or rounded or pointed , it can be straight or tapered straight or tapering curved , it can be long or short , it can sometimes had changing profile instead of one continuous curve , it can ...

I had seldom seen really original styling but originality in execution of the various styling idea still amaze and amuse , Jinhao definitely not one at that though

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
