        Seul and Michael, I have bought the following (unseen) as a gift for someone. Do you know this pen? Thanks

        Wonderful pen! If they don't make a habit of using bottled ink, get them some Pilot ink cartridges, as they only take their own brand.

            upset that the type is sooo off center, sending them an email about it, but with the holiday upon us it is not much i can do at this point 😠

                Re: engraving, it's not great if that's not what was asked for, although through personal preference I like it off to one side. Does it seem structurally sound/well made?

                  seems better than the dodo case in the durability category. i'll see how she likes it before i get on my letter writing campaign.

                      i suppose my work tools will fall into this thread.

                      i'm a photographer, so here's some of my cameras.

                      leica m9. (this is over a year old, there's barely any black paint left on either of my m9's and i've subsequently fixed the screen, but another is cracking. leica's aren't really working cameras anymore they're more bling these days. that being said i work with mine all the time and image wise you can't get a better looking digital 35mm file from anything. i use a nikon d3 for tele / macro / flash work and never want to make a print from any of those images. i have however converted a leica summicron-r 180/2 apo for use on my d3, and that lens breaks my rule, but i should just buy a r9 body and shoot it with film, i'd be way happier. i digress.

                      here's both m9's and my m7 (sold the m7 a while back as it wash't nearly as reliable as my m6, although much better looking, ha.) i am selling the leicavit, well i need to post it somewhere, i have a motor winder on my m6.

                      i need to shoot the other film bodies i use regularly…

                      hasselblad 503, hasselblad x-pan, widelux, rolleiflex, contax t3, leica m6, fuji instant, polaroid sx-70, holga...

                      there's a list of bodies I'm after, unfortunately the used market on film bodies has gone up lately, just waiting for it to plummet again, ha.

                      check my work @ jesselirola.com and my tumblr blog @ jesselirola.tumblr.com - also have a bunch of older work on flickr that i haven't updated since last summer, flickr.com/j_lir/ - i shoot music and fashion primarily but will work just about anything.

                      cheers,

                      jesse

                          G - your "what´s this?" is called "thumbs up"…a nice little accessoire to rest your thumb on which also gives you a better feeling/grip when it comes to hold your camera.

                                      Aw… I would love a Aero/IH camera bag line of 2-3 bags ranging from small rangefinder-bag with the room for a m9/sony nex-7 and 2-3 lenses, a medium bag with room for a small dslr and maybe a paperback or an ipad and a larger travelbag with room for a d3 + laptop + stuff.

                                      I would totally rock a small leather/denim bag with lifetime-lasting quality for my coming nex-7 and an ipad 😛

                                      Seize the day and don't you cry.

                                        Lucifer I'm pretty sure IH (Giles) can sort you out with a bag option. PM him.

                                          I'm currently trying to sew one myself (mostly because most of the custom options I've been looking at run around 1200-1500 USD plus), but if I realize (this will be the most likely outcome.. 😛 ) that I'm not cut out to be a leatherworker, I think a custom Aero/IH-bag would be the best possible alternative 🙂

                                          Seize the day and don't you cry.
