I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

Now I see some extra details, I get somewhat more surprised.

 

The converter included looks very low quality. Does it not take standard sized converters like the cheaper Alpha or its clones? That would be a step back.

 

I can't but wonder, if they cut it so short on the converter, what else might have they cut on?

 

With that price tag, it would be nice to know if the Ti content of the alloy is significant and whether the screws and plates are safely fixed (say soldered). It would be a pity if they can come loose and be lost.

If you are to be ephemeral, leave a good scent.

Moonman A1 is a well made pen with similar screws. Can't think of a reason they would make this pen of a lesser quality.  We'll see the feedback soon enough.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to the first reviews.

      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.
