In this video I talk about the 5 Opus 88 models I write with and show you the features + go over my likes and dislikes about the pens.
This was inspired by an email question from a pen friend new to the hobby!!!
In this video the pen models shown are:
1. Opus 88 Omar
2. Opus 88 Demonstrator (modified with Pilot Parallel nib)
3. Opus 88 Halo
4. Opus 88 Koloro
5. Opus 88 Mini
Thank you for watching ... these pens are such high quality and fun eyedropper pens. They run quite expensive for my budget, 3 of mine were gifted to me and the others I purchased when I had windfall money. I love and enjoy them all ... the Omar is my favorite and the Mini is my least favorite but I still like it it's just not as comfortable for me to write with - after time I realized that.
