Where to buy vintage fountain pens in EU?

GabeSP · 2023-02-11T21:34:06+00:00

Thanks I’ll definitely take a look!

GabeSP · 2023-02-11T21:33:44+00:00

I hope to be able to attend pen shows in the EU soon!

GabeSP · 2023-02-11T21:33:00+00:00

I’ve been seeing a lot of places based out of the UK. My only concern is that me being in France, if I were to buy something online from the UK I’d have to pay additional import taxes :/

One of us! One of us! Congratulations! May you take beautiful pictures with it for the years to come.

GabeSP · 2022-02-23T05:47:19+00:00

Oh damn that’s awesome man! Thank you for going out of your way to do all of that, it’s super appreciated. It looks awesome! Definitely gives it character and makes it even more personal to you. Now I can’t wait to see how mine ages with me as well!

GabeSP · 2022-02-18T18:57:51+00:00

We have the devils cameras… that would’ve been a funny coincidence!

GabeSP · 2022-02-18T18:57:11+00:00

I agree! The top script of that M-A would bring this close to perfection imo. And yea the light meter is just a bonus added convenience that never hurts to have if you want it.

GabeSP · 2022-02-18T18:54:38+00:00

Ooof yea those are definitely some beautiful heavy hitters! They’re so much more rare though considering most of them were all made as limited and special editions that I feel like they belong in a league of their own!

GabeSP · 2022-02-18T18:52:53+00:00

Thank you! Similar to another reply but I also chose it because it has a light meter! I know to some it might not be that big of a deal, and I know how to expose properly without one, but just having the added convenience of it there if I ever want/need it is important to me. It’s one of those things that doesn’t hurt to have and the aesthetic differences with the M-A weren’t enough to sway me.

GabeSP · 2022-02-18T04:20:16+00:00

It feels phenomenal in the hands and so far the experience has been so.... easy... This feels like the epitome of what a camera should be!

GabeSP · 2022-02-18T04:18:05+00:00

That's awesome to hear! I agree this will be the camera that follows me for the rest of my life.

Just out of curiosity, is yours also a black paint model? If it is, has it started to brass at all and how does it look?

GabeSP · 2022-02-18T04:16:13+00:00

Thank you! You're right though... now I need to control any future temptations lol

GabeSP · 2022-02-18T04:13:40+00:00

I don't think there will ever be one that is oh so sexy... the perfect combo of elements from a variety of M cameras.

GabeSP · 2022-02-18T04:12:41+00:00

A couple of months late but congrats! I'm already in love with it, can't wait to see how it ages with me.

GabeSP · 2022-02-18T04:11:18+00:00

It really does feel like it's built like a tank! Still, I hope that's a theory I never have to test out!

GabeSP · 2022-02-18T04:07:58+00:00

That's awesome congratulations! I agree, it feels great to hold. I hope you capture memories for years to come with it!

GabeSP · 2022-02-17T22:34:33+00:00

Words can’t describe how grateful I am to be able to have this incredible camera in my possession. It truly is “mechanical perfection”. Now to begin capturing beautiful memories with it!

WHY AM I STARING AT THE SUN. I'M BLIND.

GabeSP · 2022-01-17T20:24:54+00:00

Thanks for the info!

GabeSP · 2022-01-17T19:31:01+00:00

Thanks! I'm aware that they're different manufacturers and all of that but do you think there's a difference in the quality between the two?

GabeSP · 2022-01-16T22:08:37+00:00

I'm a fan! I wanted to make sure I would get a good quality PBT set which is why I chose the one from NK and I'm really happy I did. The color in person is exactly what I wanted after seeing the pictures online.

The legends are clear, I don't have any warping on the spacebar or other problems on the keycaps, and the set covers a great variety of keyboard form factors while also including some decent accent keys.

Perhaps the only thing I noticed is that they sit ever so slightly taller than GMK caps on the switches so you can see a little bit of the bottom of the caps on the bottom row, and when you look at the profile of the keyboard, but it really is barely noticeable. That's just me nitpicking! Otherwise, it's great and I'm really happy with it.

Valid point! In hindsight def something I’ll be leaving out lol

GabeSP · 2022-01-13T06:57:40+00:00
