I am going to spend some time later today taking some new photos and hopefully they will turn out as I would like them to especially in composition.
Here is one of mine for now.
Omas Arco Paragon. I absolutely love this pen.

My pieces!!! Just missing the Caran mechanical pencil matching with the pen that's on the picture. It was so dirty that I left it out. LOL

I think this is my best pen shot so far. :cheers:
The nib shot of my Montblanc 1996 Writers' Series - Alexander Dumas pen, with Montblanc Royal Blue ink.

Also, pretty happy about how this one came about - a nib shot of my Montblanc Unicef 146. This was taken hand held with flash.

Ok! Now that is a GREAT nib shot. What camera did you use for this. I can't get my macro setting that tight. :clap::clap::clap:

Thanks :cheers:
Those nib shots were taken using a Nikon D90 with Nikon's 105mm F/2.8 micro lens. I use this lens for 99% of the macro shots I take. Superb lens once you find it's sweet spot.

Mark, you have an excellent line-up. Those Montblancs are just incredible. The citrine rollerball and the Nikolai, simply amazing. The one to the far right, does it have a diamond on the cap? What model is it?

Thanks Carl! Yes, it does, and it's rose gold/sterling silver, with a MOP star. It's the 75th anniversary Meisterstuck. :thumbsup:

Actually when you purchase an Omas, you get to join the Omas Society and they then send you gifts which one of them is a brand new Omas polishing cloth! A touch of genuine class! Not even Rolex does that! Humph!

Sorry folks - I assumed this forum would downsize pics.........my modern OBBB 149 - taken with macro lens on Nikon D70 and photoshopped for crop and lighting.

Excellent! Not seen another OBBB on a 149. Did this come stock or did you have a meister do it?
Beautiful shot!
Would love to see a writing sample.

Great photo Chris, that OBBB looks like it's had some special work done on it to crisp up the edges. I bet it writes with a nice italic variation to the line width. :cheers:

Not as far as I am aware it hasn't. I bought it from Norbert Otto in Germany - www.penboard.de.......... just before I bought the early OBB from Tom Westerich - what a difference with a late 50s nib!
How do I downsize the photo? I can't find my way around very well yet - but it isn't this size in my files.

Good site Cu!
I wouldn't worry about downsizing your photos. They look perfect to me. The bigger the better!
