It was an Omas 360 bronze demo with binder .6mm, but he was taking ink at high speed, so it was empty yesterday.

 

Now brought in a M200 Amber with a binder .? (I'll have to check) and a lamy studio SS with 1.1mm

 

Those are the ones I take most notes with!

Lamy Studio Black with an F nib and MB Blue-Black for jotting,

Lamy Safari Charcoal with a friend's M nib for smoothing and seeing if I want to move up from my F nib love.

Parker "51" - Aerometric filler. Forrest Green w/gf converging lines cap. Excellent condition, medium nib; utterly reliable.

My Lamy Safari is hands down the most used pen in my collection. It's an XF nib and I keep it filled with Noodler's Standard Green.

 

While I own vintage Esties and Sheaffers, and used to write with them just as often...a mishap the other day at school led me to realize that those old pens still survive because somebody else was nice to them. Unless I'm wearing a pocketed shirt I won't carry my old pens with me, for their sakes.

These days it's a Parker Sonnet with a 14k XF nib and Lamy Blue Black ink. It's a nice combination that shows the slight amount of shading that I'm likeing these days. On days when the sonnet get's a breather, I normally use a Lamy 2000.

No idea what it is, but it's probably a third-tier pen. A lever-filling ringtop which I bought at the Melbourne Pen Show, I figured it would be fun to own such a pen. It had flow problems, but a bit of pressure and tweaking, and it's now writing incredibly smoothly and with excellent flow!

 

I've been using it for the past week and a half.

Lately it has been an MB149 which has an early 1960s nib fitted into a modern rest of the pen.

I have also been using my Nakaya Decapod Shu with the flex medium nib a fair bit.

I do tend to change pens a fair bit depending on mood and what I am doing with them.

Pelikan M805 with a .4mm Ang Cursive Italic and Noodlers Zhivago. It's the only pen I've used since the nib arrived in early November!

I'm a bit of a pen nerd these days being that I just received a leather 4 pen case. In my pocket is the old faithful....1952 Lady Skripcert III. It's bronze with black striping. Since I've had it, it has never missed a beat. M/F nib with perfect flow. It's uses mini-cartridges and I've got no idea what the ink is. It's blue/green.

 

In the case I've got my other "Go-To" pen. An Esterbrook Double Jewel with a 2556 nib. I've got PR DC Supershow Blue in today. Great color, nice feathering. I've got 3 others inked right now, but those I are the ones I reach for.

Mine is a 1950's green striped Pelikan 400 filled with Diamine Grey.
