Pilot VP M (LE 2009) that I just scored in France, and paid I'm sure too much money for, but I'm really tickled with the color. It looks orange in the picture but it's really bright red. Inked with J. Herbin 1670. I just love my VP's - they are so smooth, and reliable! Unlike some more expensive pens (Visconti, cough cough) which I always seem to have problems with.

 

Stipula Titanium Nib F in Malachite, inked with Noodler's Gruene Cactus. A very nice writer!

 

Nakaya Long Size Cigar, F nib, reddish red, inked with J. Herbin 1670 (love that ink!). this is also a great writer but boy that F nib is really FINE - may have to swap it out for a M or B.

 

Faber Castell Ondoro in orange, M nib, also a GREAT writer! Inked with Pilot Iroshizuku Tsukushi - Horsetail. This is also a great writer!

 

I don't have any Lamy's inked at the moment, for some reason, but I really love my Lamy 2000 and Lamy Studio.

I bought another Parker 45 because it was very cheap. It was shipped from

Croatia, by air mail. Condition is excellent. It arrived with a 3/4 full

Parker cartridge installed. There was no ink in the cap and no sign of stray

ink anywhere. I am using this pen because it is inked and I always carry

a Parker 45 in my pocket, even when traveling.

 

None of my Parker 45's has ever leaked in airline travel.

I took my Visconti's to a nibmeister today and he fixed both - one was "baby bottom" and the other was a bent nib. Now both write reliably. So I take back what I said about Visconti's!

Parker 95 with Diamine Kelly Green. Actually, today when I was out for lunch, the waitress' pen stopped writing, so I offered her mine.

For what they cost they should come adjusted.

I've recently begun to get into the hobby, and I've found two pens that I really like so far.

 

First is my black and gold Parker I.M with a fine nib. I like the looks of it and how it writes, but I really don't like the color of Parker's black ink cartridges, they are too blueish for me. When I switched to black Lamy cartridges however, all my issues were gone, and now I love it. I use it when I want to look a bit more classy.

 

Secondly is my NK limited edition Lamy Safari. I would like to post a picture of it, but I don't have a camera nearby. It's basically all red, including the clip and it writes wonderfully. The Lamy ink dries quickly and has a nice red-tone in it which I like, and I like how lightweight it is; it definitely is my everyday pen.

 

Other than that, I'm using a Parker Urban ballpoint as a back-up. It's just that I absolutely loath ballpoints, and I experiment with using gel-refills in it. I've found that Moleskine pen-refills work quite well, even though they tend to dry out for me.

 

Anybody have any suggestions for nice pens for a new convert? :ltcapd:
