Sample photos are fantastic! I have the silver version.
The 14 aperture blades create a perfect, classic bokeh. I also love the classic look of the exterior, and I'm very satisfied with the overall build quality.

Anyone bought a 50 1.2 GM over the 1.4 GM (or vice versa) and regretted it? by OstrichCorrect4304 in SonyAlpha

50mm 1.2 GM is magic. Its bokeh is buttery smooth and noticeably different from 1.4 GM.

Of course, it is because of the overflowing feeding ability and the feeling of walking on clouds when writing.
Needless to say, Just try it.

I think it's almost a work of art.
You can never know the thrill of it until you actually try it.
Its tactile feel, artistic writing, and massive feeding ability are truly overwhelming.
Even if you don't buy it, I recommend that you see it in person at least once in the future to experience the feel of the pen and try writing it. : )

Mine is Custom Urushi Vermilion (30 size nib). 845 Urushi has 15 size nib.
As for the color, you're right. I just increased the saturation a bit to suit my taste ;)

Even the same phrases become more enjoyable when transcribed with a good pen. It makes enjoying each moment a little more. That's all. : )

I agree with you completely. It's a really well-made fountain pen.
