~ Montblanc red gold 149 OBBB inked with Iroshizoku Kon-peki ink.



It's performed so well during a six day visit to Shanghai, where it wrote field notes while birdwatching.



The OBBB nib writes as small and as smoothly as any other nib, if used on 80 or 90 gsm paper.



As a single 50 ml bottle of Kon-peki ink was on offer in a trusted Shanghai stationers, I bought it.



In the OBBB nib it shades nicely ad is easy to control.

I should be using my Le Grands, but I am in the US for a short stay (collecting data for my research). I am missing my pens... :crybaby:

You left all behind? I always take a few with me when I travel. Perhaps I never get to use them. But I know they're around if I need to look at them :)

I've been extensively using my platinum 146... I have been writing it dry on a daily basis... I'm in love with the pen.

 

But, it's a small Franken pen. It's the 146 plat body with the nib from my we Mark Twain. The it's a medium slightly wet cursive italic from Dan Smith.

 

It's likely I end up doing a lot of customization to the nib that came on the 146... In due time

      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.

      My long lost twin! I thought I was the only one still hoarding so much film in the freezer (since the early 2000s). But digital gear has come a long way since then, and I finally converted a while ago. I'm planning to reclaim the freezer space, but I have no idea what to do with the film.

      ...random aside - I still have some 30 rolls of unused, long-expired Kodachrome 64 film (35mm). They have been frozen since 2009. No idea why I have held on to them for this long, but I guess I'm hoping for a miracle. I too have never developed colour film but I still d&p my B&W to this day. As a passion, of course.

      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
