Hi all, in my continued de-stash I've found myself having to move along two very special pens! These are custom made Leonardo Cigar models, that I've asked for the clip and centre bands to be removed. They've been sent to Bokumondoh in Tokyo who has finished them in a beautiful Raden/ Urushi finish, which is absolutely stunning. They're both A+ condition and have only been inked once.

After waiting 18 months for these, I've now realised they don't have a 'place' in my collection, hence I'm looking to move them on. Both pens come with a large Leonardo box and bottle of ink.

The Blue Cigar Model comes with a #8 14k Broad nib

The Red Cigar Model comes with a #8 14k 1.1 Stub nib.

I'm looking for $1850 USD/ 1600 EURO each.

I'll be shipping from Brisbane Australia, and am happy to include express postage, as well as any customs or import taxes.

Hi all, I'm looking to sell today my Leonardo Minimalist Mojito and Ice Fountain Pen. This pen was purchased new from Leonardo, as a 1 of 1 release. It comes in a beautiful, semi-transparent finish, called Mojito & Ice and is part of their minimalist range, so comes without a centre band.

This pen comes with Leonardo's #8 Titanium nib in a Medium size. These nibs are hard to find, and are only exlusively released on a small number of models. This specific nib is very soft and springy, a delight to use!

Hi all, I have an a6700 with a few lenses, and have had this camera for about a year. I honestly really enjoy using it and have found the quality excellent.
I've been speaking with a few people recently, both on reddit and in person, and the comment of 'when will you be moving to full frame?' has come up a few times, hence I've starting looking at full frame equivalent.

I've been looking at the A7V model, which seems like an incredible camera. My question is whether or not I'll notice any real difference with the A7V over my A6700 as I shoot 90% indoors, with plenty of artificial lighting, I shoot mainly product photos and videos, and only do a small amount of outdoor vidoes and photos. Similarly, as I shoot mainly indoors I'm not worrried about camera size or weight at all.

From the photos I've included, do you think I would notice any difference with the A7V over my a6700? I would guess I'd mainly be looking for improvement in picture sharpness and clarity, and perhaps depth of colour.

Otherwise, are there any other full frame options you'd reccommend?

Thank you!

I’m attending a conference in Sydney at the moment. These were the five pens that came down with me!
