Camlin Elegante Fountain Pen - Black/Blue/Red
Brand:
Camlin
Harshitha Shivakumar
Advantages
Camlin Elegante is great choice for students looking for a high-quality, affordable pen. I would definitely recommend this pen. It is well-made, has a good nib, good ink flow and is great value for the price. Note - The nib is a 'medium fine point' and has a bit of feedback. Don't use it with a heavy hand otherwise the back of the paper will get spoilt.

High-quality Affordable pen
Rajesh
Advantages
A good pen overall.Pros -1. Writes well.2. Looks good.3. Its converter actually comes off, and not sure (as not tried) but can support pierre cardin cartridge, parker quink cartridge.Cons -1. Bulky, heavy2. For beginner, children, or people want to write with it for long hours (note making) etc, will find its not the pen you will reach.3. I started it with Pilot fountain pen ink, which is known for smooth writing, but it is skipping little bit when drawing line. Nothing serious though.
Comment
Overall Justifies its cost. Will not say its a beginner friendly pen.

Few points I have been reading about this pen which I would like to answer. (Compared with two other pens- Parker Vector and Luxor V5)1. Grip Read in couple of reviews regarding the thick grip and the "curve" at the grip which makes it awkward to hold. Honestly, have not felt so at all. The grip is pretty medium, larger than Parker Vector and comparable to the Luxor V5. It wont create any problems holding it. I am an average 5'10 and people of same build, hand and finger size wont be any problem. Also on Parker Vector the metal body starts to feel slippery due to metal, small grip and feels tiresome after writing couple of pages. Been nice to hold the Elegante and feel firm in hand, it makes one feel like holding a pen with substance :) .2. Nib and feeder: It says Fine on the nib and it is comparable to the Luxor V5 0.5 and Parker Fine nib. Few claim it is 0.7 / medium kinds. Its all about the pressure on puts when writing it. I just touch the nib on paper and rest the pen does, so would say- it is Fine. It is way too smoooooother and fluent than Parker which felt a bit rough. Parker Fine nibs give a feedback making it bit of a dragging experience. However on Elegante the nib just flows and slides over the paper. It is not only the nib but also the feeder which ensures the nib slides. The feeder ensures that there is even flow of ink through out the writing experience. The writing it leaves is slightly wet and not dry, personally i prefer that over the dry and dragging. This ensures that one gets to write about 6 pages i.e 12 sides without a refill.3. Plastic construction and feel in hand: The cap is made of brass(as they say). The cap has a "matte" finish, not a glossy one. The clip and top is glossy. Gives a fair enough good contrast to add some "looks" to it when taking it out of the pocket :D . The pen itself- very much plastic. If I try to weigh both the cap and pen separately, roughly they feel of same weight, it is that light weight ( just a feel factor how I felt). However this does not mean it is a cheap construction. It has fallen from 2 floors down and did not crack anywhere, so would say its good strong plastic. It makes one feel pretty solid holding it. The size if compared to other two is larger. It rests pretty well in between my thumb and index finger(which parker does not, Luxor does) , hence never needed to put the clip on the rear. Without the clip it is very much balanced (Parker and Luxor both feel well balanced without the cap placed on top) , with clip Elegante and Parker feel a bit -top heavy.4. Ink filling: Personally always been a fan of eyedroppers(good old school days) , however this comes with the standard piston filling( as seen in the photo by Hari). When I immersed the nib in the pen and pulled the piston it just filled half. Had to dip the whole nib till the grip when it got filled. In parker just dipping the top nib was sufficient. For Luxor pulling the whole top part out and then refuel it seemed very tedious. Some other reviews I read people have tried removing the piston converter and used it as eyedropper!!! Few said it worked , few said it leaked. Need to substantiate it. Not sure and hence wont try this out to spoil such a nice piece. If anyone has tried would love to hear your experience.5. Writing after 3 weeks: For Luxor, it works immediately! Even after 6 months it worked like magic. For Parker bit of dipping, or couple of splashing out and it starts. For Elegante it did not start immediately. From school days used to have an Airmail (unfortunately misplaced it when i shifted) it used to work like a beauty even after 3 weeks. Elegante on this aspect did not fair so well. However, how many of us are not going to use their Pen for 3 weeks, always something to write, sign or pen down :) . It worked fairly after a break of one week.6. Colour: Personally the "looks" of a pen hardly matter to me. Its the balance in hand and the nib which are the real heart and soul. We pay crazy on high class pens just for the looks. For few people this matters more- individual choice and nothing against it. Parker gives a good classy look, Luxor makes one feel more of a student than a person with authority or executive. Elegante would be a mix of both and middle of both. Neither a college going look nor an Executive look. On looks it does fair enough justice- The cap and two metal rings is all that makes it stand apart. Would have loved if they would have made more colours than Maroon, Black and Blue. Nonetheless these colours are the royal colours and pretty good than what Reynolds have- bright designs which are more for school going kids to attract them. This does enough for me.7. Spare Nibs and feeder: Not sure if there are spare nibs available online. I am at a location which is 100s of km away from any civilization in a jungle or a desert and only way is to order online (thankfully speed post delivers faster than couriers :lticaptd: ) . After using this nib, I would personally not place any other nib. I am pretty happy about it. (always good habit to have spare nibs, dont know when one drops it and needs to change).8. Recommended for: Its a must for student. At this price range where one is still studying and not earning, this sounds a good buy, though not the best as Luxor beats this is VFM. Parker, would never recommend it for students. If someone wants to carry it for exams- carry 2 atleast, all due to the limited piston converter capacity. Luxor- would be best. If you are an executive sitting in a board of meetings where you want to make a statement by what you carry then there are many other alternatives. This is fair on looks and pleasure for writing :) :) :) .9. Value for Money: For a standard person like me or a student, Luxor beats Elegante and Parker. However for a fountain pen- This is an excellent VFM :)Well, this sums up my experience after using it. Anyone has anything more to add to this or share their side we all would love to hear it

Average pen

My primary reason to pick up this pen was to return to fountain pen writing and secondly since it's made in India by our own beloved Camlin (which incidentally is now owned by a Japanese brand!) The pen definitely looks and feels gorgeous but does not write as well. The nib is somewhat rough though I gave myself about 5 days of using it intermittently to get used to it as much as to smoothen it, which it didn't (BTW, I chose Camlin Royal Blue ink to go with it.) This, I guess is just the quality you get for a pen that's only Rs. 200/- The other small gripe I have is the ink well, which uses a piston filling mechanism and holds a tiny amount of ink that may last no more than 4~5 days of moderate writing. Will I recommend it? Absolutely, it's a beautiful looking and nicely weighted pen and an absolute bargain.Ah, my complain to Silkrute, please take care of the packaging as I received it all pressed out of shape. Just makes me cringe that it could have damaged the pen itself and will probably think twice before ordering small and fragile items in future.

Great value for money

This pen is too thick which is difficult to make out in the image. Body is normal, does not look premium at all. Nib is decent, that's it. You need to take out the ink syringe in order to fill ink, cant just dip the nib in ink and pull, does not work that way. The nib dribbles some ink when filled for first time, so keep some tissues handy. Overall, price is not justified if you buy on MRP. Parker is much better.Use Parker Quink ink for good performance - that ink dries fast on paper.
