Just received a Pilot Prera in the mail and I couldn't be happier. I've been playing with it this evening and I think I may have found my perfect nib! It is the first nib I've used that has both a fine enough point and that also writes smoothly enough for me.

Today there has been one of variety for me :thumbup:

 

Esterbrook 2556 nib (which has been "ground" to an oblique right) with Diamine Blue Black

 

Pelikan Blue O Blue with OM nib (just got this new nib and do NOT like it) with Private Reserve spearmint

 

and the mail brought:

 

Black Sailor w/GF trim - 1911 International with a 21 K Music Nib :cloud9: which I filled with Noodler's Brown - a sample I hadn't gotten to use yet!

 

First experience with a Music Nib and so far I like it a good bit! :thumbup:

today? Hero (parker 51 knock-off) and diamine rustic brown ink. the pen's leaking quite badly now... im trying to eek out a bit longer from it. thinking about putting a hair band on the rubber bit to keep it a tighter seal....

Even though I have green and red Aurora Optimas, and a blue stripe Pelikan 800 in my bag today, the only pen I have used all day is the Visconti Skeleton AG925, filled with Private Reserve D. C. Supershow Blue.

      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

      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.

      By Ceilidh · Posted

      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.
