[GallBladder]

Thanks for posting those great links and videos. I'll keep an eye out for your future posts.

 

btw I am also into older cameras, so am also a photographic equipment geek, and really enjoyed the Lord IV camera demo.

I've watched the video over three times. lol

So nice.

 

By the way, I ordered Platinum President (ST) with B nib.

Which is more popular in Japan, silver trim or gold trim?

I have both ST and GT!

 

Over three times!? Thanks a lot for your watching. Both silver trim and gold trim are popular in Japan. But, strictly speaking, silver trim is much popular than gold trim among younger generation.

Hi, GallBladder. Thank you so much for your watching my vids. I'm a camera geek as well!! Especially, I do like to use 135 film cameras. Needless to add, I also love vintage cameras like TLRs. Here's a video I took before. I hope you'll enjoy watching the vid!

Thanks for the information.

Platinum's pen is always quite attractive for me.

Wow, how lucky... if I were living in Japan or a Japanese I would certainly be at the nib clinic.

Yeah, Platinum's products are also attractive, esp. Izumo akatame (urushi finished with B nib)

is the very pen I do want next!!

Thanks for the comment. I sometimes (about twice ...or three times a year) visit Nakaya Fountain Pen Shop instead of going to Sailor pen clinic. Then, the pen craftsman Mr. Kubo adjusts my pens very appropriately! I'm so proud of him.

Nice videos! I don't understand anything but nevertheless it is still fascinating. Nothing like being so near to a great nibmeister and above all a skilled artisan. I hear that all these guys are very respected in Japan... and for good reason! It truly is more than a business.

Hi, nicholasyeo. Thanks for the comment over again!! Language is not so important problem. If you feel something through the videos, I'm really glad as a Japanese fountain pen freak!

Thank you very much for sharing that. It is very enjoyable to watch a master at work.

UR welccome. You know Hakase is one of the most famous fountain pen craftsmen in Japan. If you come to my country in the future, you should visit his own shop and order your special fountain pen! I bet you'd like it.

Thanks a lot for the links to these great videos! I received yesterday a fountain pen made at the Yamada fountain pen shop. Very nice to see the actual place it was made

The pen was made by Mr. Yamada for a Japanese collector who some years later decided to sell it. I am the very happy new owner

I will post photos of the pen soon

 

Thanks again,
