[QUOTE="glpease, post: 280267, member: 18"] The Sonnet is a sweet pen, for sure, with a nice, somewhat flexible nib. But, it's got that inner cap issue. Since I don't tend to use the same pen every day, it's important to me that it not dry out between uses. My Sonnet does not fall into that category. (Yes. I'm slightly insane. When I had a real job, and disposable income, I bought a mess-o-pens, some new, some vintage, and enjoy them all. Pens are as bad as pipes, only people don't screw up their faces and do that obnoxious false-coughing dance of the hands when you use them.) When you start getting into vintage stuff, you're really in trouble. You could have a whole collection, for instance, of the variants on the [url=http://www.richardspens.com/?page=ref/profiles/skyline.htm]Eversharp Skyline[/url], or the [url=http://www.richardspens.com/?page=ref/profiles/tuckaway.htm]Shaeffer Tuckaway,[/url]. And, then there's ink. Just like tobacco. I have my faves, but every time a new colour appears that I like, I have to have it. I hear Diamine is coming out with a set of 12 based on Composers. Saving my pocket change… I wish you luck. [/QUOTE]
