What's Your Most Recent Mb Purchase? 2019 Edition

[como]

Somehow this version of Rouge et Noir reminds me of tiger stripes... I would have preferred a mottled red ebonite version.

~ Should a fresh thread be opened for discussion of the Rouge et Noir fountain pen release?

Discussing that model here doesn't help anyone interested to find the comments or photos about it.

This being the recent purchase thread, another thread dedicated to that model might be welcome.

My latest Mont Blanc purchase was a 144 Vermeil with an oblique nib. Did some trading of pens at the Dallas Pen Show and came home with this beauty. Please forgive the bad cell phone pics.

Nice nib Pakman!

Is this the camera used to do photos? It looks like a monster. But is one of the best creatures of image-makers. I Love canon and my favorite camera (EOS ) of old days.

Yes, you're absolutely right!

That camera and lens were used to photograph the handwriting samples, ink boxes and nibs.

The photography was in indirect natural daylight so as to maximize natural color tones.

It's a Zeiss Makro-Planar T* 50mm f/2 ZE lens on a Canon EOS 1D X.

A great, extraordinary lens you have, Tom! A clear sign that you have chosen your stuff with accuracy and wisdom.

 

Lenses and photographers make photographs, not cameras. Cameras just help, as they are often such beautiful objects that they are meant to be taken in the hands and, eventually, to take pictures...

Thank you very much!

The Zeiss Makro-Planar T* 50mm f/2 ZE lens is the workhorse of the camera lenses I use.

Nearly all ink or fountain pen images I've posted were made with that lens.

While the EOS 1D X may appear somewhat large, it's easy to handle.

I use it handheld for all images. The mass has never seemed excessive.

For fountain pen and nib images, it works well in limited light settings.
