~ 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

      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.
