I'm using a Sultan #6, filled with Robert Oster Khaki. I have also inked up a Guider egg with Akkerman (29) hofvijver grijs.post-123717-0-67060100-1483854936_thumb.jpgpost-123717-0-39126200-1483854996_thumb.jpg

Today I am using Gama Kuyil with Nib swapped with Kanwrite 35 mm Chrome EF nib and Sheaffer NNS feed. It is filled with Daytone Blue- Black ink.

My new Guider Raja eyedropper with fine nib. Just got some grease so filled up with Heart of Darkness and ready for endless note taking. I have no hesitation in saying this is the best looking pen I own and at £25 shipped a bargain.

F.P.R. Himalaya - Taj Mahal. 1.0 Stub. Ink - Diamine Burnt Sienna. The pen arrived this afternoon. Nib is smooth. Will be putting it through some paces before commenting. Do like the screw in converter--reminds me of the Monteverde Napa. fpn_1484430695__fprhimalaya.jpg

How are your stubs? There was an issue some time ago that the FPR stubs (were smooth and all but) looked too close to a Bold/rounded tip with hardly noticeable line variation.

Hero #232 Blue-Black is my Waterman Florida Blue.

Personally, I am satisfied with these 1.0 stubs. As noted they are smooth with rounded tips, not like a .true stub. However, they do aid in my 'unremarkable' handwriting. For line variation, I would use a flex nib. You can purchase a flex nib for your FPR pens. Of my Ahabs, only one has a flex nib on it.

Thanks! Sadly I'm what they call a "sidewriter" so I can't write with flex nibs. I hope you can post a writing sample of your FPR stubs :)

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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.
