Which Visconti should I buy?
I want to buy my first Visconti and I'm debating between the following 4 pens:
Homo Sapiens steel oversize
Manhattan Magma
Metropolitan Green
Divina black midi
Anything inherently better about any of the above? any other suggestions for a first Visconti?

Apart from the bronze or dark age being my preference for the homosapien, they all look lovely, I don't envy your dilemma.

How about the Van Gogh series? I really like the material, but the steel nib for the price stopped me from buying.

Out of your choices, the HS. I had the maxi, and found it to be too large/heavy for me. I have the Bronze Age, and Dark Ages in the midi version. Two of my favorite pens...

Re: Which Visconti should I buy?
I'm probably more of a midi size person myself.
As for the van Gogh, you can but a dream touch nib from visconti for £170. On my to buy list.

Re: Which Visconti should I buy?
reporting back... the hs steel maxi landed. i inked it this morning. i love this pen! it is definitely not too big or heavy for me. the balance feels perfect. it writes like a dream. and i love the look of the pen itself. my only problem is deciding which visconti to buy next!

Re: Which Visconti should I buy?
Hi there!
My fist Visconti was the Homo Sapiens Bronze (the large version) in EF, I loved it, and still do, I'm glad you liked your purchase, also, I won a Homo Sapiens LE Chiantishire from Appelboom on instagram, I just recieved it...and is awesome! the acriloid material in the barrel is awesome, kind of 3D effect, the cap is gorgeous, overall, one of the best pens I have ever used and own. You can consider this model also for your collection or the other colors (Florentine Hills and London Fog).
Cheers,
Luis A.

Re: Which Visconti should I buy?
I had a Homo Sapiens bronze full size but found it a bit large and heavy for my taste. I sold it and bought a Steel Age Midi and love it.
I would love to find a Crystal Swirls but haven't scored one yet. I was unfortunately a touch too late on one last week. Lots of London Fogs, but I prefer the colors on Crystal Swirls. I think the Visconti demos (whichever color scheme one prefers) makes a nice addition to a Visconti group.

Hi RocketRyan,
Did you get the Van Gogh?
I am looking at: https://bellamysworld.com/accessorie...h-fountain-pen
What do you mean by dream touch nib and any to be found there?
