Some of our pens...

[Scooby921]

I had the camera out snapping pics of pen cases for another thread. I decided to attempt some shots of various pens naimitsu and I had out in the open (easy to find) in the office. I'm thinking I need a better setup for macro photography. I magnifier on the lens should help with close-up shots and perhaps a tripod so I can use a smaller aperture / longer shutter to remove the depth of field effect and bring everything into focus.

Technically we (naimitsu and I) are collectors, though I would prefer the classification of "user". None of our pens just sit around to be looked at. Sooner than later I will probably be a "seller" as three of the pens pictured are likely to be put up for sale in the for sale forum section.

Updated 1st post with info about the pens in the pictures.

That is a great looking Menlo! Also the Stylograph (about which I know nothing).

Thanks! The Menlo was almost purely an impulse buy after naimitsu picked up the Stylograph. I thought the checker pattern looked cool. I was browsing through Edison's available materials one evening, ran across the blue/gold checker, and had one purchased two days later. Edison also has a green/gold checker material. I don't NEED another pen, but I definitely WANT one to go along with the blue/gold.

Wanting to get some better pictures I bought a tripod, some extension tubes, and a remote for the camera. Here are some new pics.

Nice macro shots. I especially like the one of the nib.
