My Pens to Date


Pete of Killeen

Recommended Posts

These are my first 6 acquisitions.  I was slowly gathering them and keeping them in the office.

I am off Friday and Monday for my 2 days use/lose for the month, so thought I'd bring them home and try to do

some better photos.  I really like all these pens but the most expensive one, the Platinum, seems to be sort of a dry, faint writer;

but I see others have had issues with the 3776.  I will give it some use and if need be, like the Montblanc plan, eventually be at a show and have it looked at.

Dang, Pete! You don't mess around! Very nice collection. 👍

Thanks, Buford!  I'm taking my time contemplating what might be next though!

What's the one in the bottom of the photo (the one with the blue clip)?  It's an interesting material and I was wondering whether it was made out of ebonite (which has a nice warmth to it when I hold my ebonite pens (sadly only have a couple, and one of them the Ebonite Noodler's Konrad, seems to be missing parts at the moment... :crybaby:).

Let me guess!! It's a Nahvalur (Narwhal) Nautilus. I like Narwhals.

 

Never seen that color before, though.

@inkstainedruth @Buford  Yes Buford is right.  I got it from Galen Leather and it might

have been a shop exclusive--not sure.  It and the 823 are the least expensive pens of the 6 I have and I do 

like them just as good as if not better than some of the others.  Website says it is European Ebonite.

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
