    I have several Visconti Divina Elegance but I decided to get a rollerball for this version.

      Sounds like a great collection! I reviewed a Divini Midi on this channel. Stunning pen.

      @@fortheloveofpens it was so beautiful but I thought my sister might enjoy it more. It reality, I’ve give away all my Visconti’s. The Mythos, I just purchased I’m giving away to my niece for her graduation. It’s not a super expensive pen that if it gets lost it’s not the end of the world. Maybe once she is a doctor I’ll give her a more expensive pen😆

      I had to wait almost three weeks for delivery in the US from one of the large pen shops. Good luck with the delivery.

    I had the Mirage but I couldn't get the nib to work well. I had the distributor exchange the nib but it still wasn't working well. I glad to see yours is nicely tuned.

      Im sorry to hear that, mine writes well but does have a decent amount of feedback. While I don’t typically like extra feedback, this one hits a sweet spot for me.

    Awesome video!! I have this exact pen, and
    I love the price point. I'm glad that you haven't experienced any drying out. I've read that the magnetic cap pens don't have an airtight seal vs screw on caps.

    • @fortheloveofpens
      @fortheloveofpens  Před 5 měsíci +1

      Thank you! I haven’t had any hard starts, even after leaving the pen capped for ~3 weeks. I could see magnetic caps getting bad reputations because you have to nail the tolerance, whereas screw caps are a little more forgiving as you can “over tighten” to an extent to get a better seal.

    For those of you who like a secure posting, the wobble the reviewer mentions will drive you crazy. It’s too bad,because the pen writes wonderfully, so smooth. And the pen itself is beautiful.

    • @fortheloveofpens
      @fortheloveofpens  Před 5 měsíci

      It is something to consider, especially if you like to post your caps

    Thank you for uploading this interesting review. I wonder if you have any Visconti Van Gogh pens (new style with steel nibs) or Rembrandt pens (also with steel nibs). This seems like a variant of these two collections and it would be interesting to have a comparison of these different Viscontis.

    • @fortheloveofpens

      I agree, those previously were entry level models for Visconti. Unfortunately I don’t have ones to compare.
