[Leica] Re: if my leica was a fountian pen which fountianpenwouldit be?

[bquinn at sgi.com (Barney Quinn)]

Jim,

Pens, Watches, Leicas. My three guilty pleasures in life. Having just sent 
out
a post about how good Sailor nibs are - and I probably should have qualified
that by saying among modern production pens - I also love the 51 in all three
on its incarnations and also the 61. Just happens that I have both a 51 and 
an
English 61 in my shirt pocked at the moment. The 51 is a great pen. Have you
ever encountered the third, and final version of the 51, the so called
Transitional 51 or the 51 model III. It looks like a cross between a 51 and a
61. Great pen.

Barney
