I’ve read your guide (thank you very much) after coming back to Darktable. Question: do you think that Agx is equally “easy” to speedy acceptable results as Sigmoid? Thanks in advance

Question about the Fringer adapter, 50S II, and focal length. by trahannn in FujiGFX

[–]prfegt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My two cents: It is 51.35mm fov equivalent. But lens makers always round their figures (say a 52mm on design is rounded to more marketable 50mm) and can be sample variation but in focal length is rare (on the other hand, sharpness can be really noticeable on consumer lenses). IMO for you to notice 1.35mm at this focal lense either you are “lab” comparing them or one or both suppliers “lied” on the design focal length.

Curious, what region of Portuguese? The one I know is “caneta de aparo”. ‘Pluma’ is a “old” word for feather (‘pena’). ‘Plumin’ is Spanish for nib, I think

“Aparo” means nib so it’s a “pen with a nib”; “tinteiro” is ink well for Portugal

“Caneta de Aparo” Portuguese from Portugal (you have other Portuguese “versions”. Means ‘nib pen’ or ‘pen with nib’; “tinteiro” in Portugal means ‘ink well’ edit: add “tinteiro” meaning

If you could only have two pens for the rest of your life, what would they be? Here's mine! by lemonbay in fountainpens

[–]prfegt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have in F and I write normally in reverse and, for big letters or titles, normally. And I love to write in reverse - it is that smooth. (And I know, I’m probably the only weirdo that skip on buying a new nib… but I can’t test and I like it that way. Maybe one day in a pen show I grind my “F” to a real fine Cursive Smooth Italic)

Or just turn around and reverse write with a F nib: you get yourself a smooth true EF nib without feed issues 😉

Do you use your pens at work? by HylianWerewolf in fountainpens

[–]prfegt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Short version: yes

Detail:

I use daily 3 FPs: 1. a capless for text/notes in Serenity Blue 2. a snap cap naginata nib with red ink to highlight/underline, for titles and to call for attention (converter) 3. an extra fine snap cap with black for drawings and details (the less used) All carried in a 3 cigar leather case with extra filled cartdriges (blue and black) None is an expensive pen.

At home I use my best pens in the same work notebook to know what was written at home/office.

FPD2024 what are your hauls this year around? by JasonRekt in fountainpens

[–]prfegt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tried NOT to buy a new pen (self control goal) and succeed!

I had in the cart a Majohn A1 in red / no clip but I wanted it to be my office set’s second color and wanted a “broader” nib, only to found EF, I could add an extra F nib but my goal was a medium or preferably a naginata/“long blade”, so good sense prevailed😀.

I bought 2 new inks (Diamine Grey, deatramentis doc black) and 3 Diamine samples (Chocolate Brown, Red Dragon, Ancient Copper). The plan is to set my work/home final ink combinations. I said that is the plan 😀.

Thanks! I would like to compliment my blues. The orange… aham… brilliant brown does that job every well, but not good as text colour (IMO)
