Thoughts on how these pens appear

[Sam]

Any thoughts of pens I have narrowed down (check my thread just a bit earlier)

The Ellenica (doric columns)

The Renaissance (sort of barley corn guilloche on the barrel)

Black Divina

Thanks

I like the looks of the Renaissance and the Black Divina.

Sam, I'm partial to Visconti pens. If I had to choose I would go with the ellenica. Let us know what you buy.

 

[Sam]

The Renaissance and the Ellenica are heavy pens, not great for notetaking

So it is between these it looks like

1) Delta 365

2) Black Divina

3) Opera Master in Black Guilloche

4) Opera Club in Nordic Fjord

They all appear rather thick. Does anyone still make slender pens? Just my opinion, of course - they're all attractive.

 

[Sam]

From what I have read, the Renaissance and the Ellenica are heavy and for extended writing, might not be the best idea.



So, it is between the Black Divina and the Delta 365 or a Black Opera Master.



Of those three, your pic?


The Opera Master would be the slimmest.

Now that you mention the Delta, I like the looks of that one better than the others.

 

[Dennis]

FWIW, I like the Black Divina.

 

[Sam]

I got a great deal on a Maxi black Divina and went with that, but am thinking of getting the Delta 365 pen as well.

A little late, this one looks great, I like its simplicity.

2) Black Divina

A nice pen also.

I vote for the Opera Master in Black Guilloche.

Caveat about the Divina - if the black one has the same cam system for closing the cap as the other Divina models, I have some concerns about mine that it may not be as good for the long haul as a more standard system. You can't go wrong with either Opera or the 365. I have them all.
