Hari curious have you tried transplanting the nib and feed of the Pilot custom into the Metropolitan,78G,knight, and prera?

No, I have not. There is a slight profile variation, this question is answered in the Pilot Custom review thread, link here.

Not a million miles away from my Sailor Somiko in general shape too. Nibs differ but the bodies of all three - the Pilot, Platinum and Sailor - are very similar.

Very neat little pen :thumbup:

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

Very good pen too. Got one after reading this. Value for money. Looks are like more expensive ones. Smooth writing.

How does the nib compare with the flexibility of the Platinum PTL-5000?

These are firm nibs per my estimation. The M nib on my PTL-5000A is even more firm. HTH.

Which would you pick between the PTL-5000A and the Custom?

I must've hit the lottery with my two PTL-5000As. They're both the most flexible (in any definition of the word) nib'd modern nibs in my collection.

How does the pen feel in hand? Does it feel well constructed?

yes, it is quite good for me. Feel is subjective.

I want to know if you have paid custom duties for the pen and you have paid it then it is how much ,I mean it is what percentage of the price of the pen.

that`s a pretty good price for the pen. esp if you can escape the import hassles.

 

Yes considering the fact that mine came with a CON 50 converter and delivered within 3 days.

      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.

      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.
