What MBs are you using today?

[Ghost Plane]

Obviously that pen is crying out that it needs a home with me.

 

Your enthusiasm over B nibs has actually made me feel guilty every time I need to regrind a pen! Grr!

Which is as it should be.

Taking a couple of big boys to work today.

In my pocket is a Mozart 3-pen pouch with a Mozart ballpoint, fountain & pencil. Inside the fountain is a Racing Green cartridge. Next to the pouch is a black Sherpa!

Love the pen and poster.

Chamonix is a lovely town. Have you been?

That's where I began and ended my Tour du Mont Blanc, a 170 km trek around the Mont Blanc Massif, one memorable summer.

Jeen, I had not been to Chamonix yet. Too much work these days : (

What camera do you use for your macro shots?

What a pen! I feel like I'm getting knighted.

I'm using an old Canon 5 megapixel model that's dying. Need to upgrade, but

then I think, what pen can i get instead?

[Titivillus]

Using my Cervantes medium upside down as it is similar to a fine italic this way.

Yes, same here. Plus, as a lover of film photography, I just keep thinking it is blasphemy to get an expensive digital camera. Basically, it would be entirely for the purposes of macro pen photography, because all of the "art" photography I do exclusively on film. Argh, decisions decisions. I can't even bring myself to spend $400 on a D40, let alone something nicer!

What else to finish off the week?

An unexpected suitor has won my heart.

 

How? Ah! Have a look at the second writing sample below (line variation between a stub and a cursive italic)!

Interesting that these modest looking pens hide nibs capable of such mind-blowing line variation! The mystery of MB Broad nibs continues.

Just wrote a snail mail with this 149 broad, Waterman blue black on Crane's Cambridge blue, 32 lb kid finish, a very nice combination.
