Could anyone suggest a good fountain pen, ink cartridge type in the 75 to 100 bucks range. I have been looking at the Parker Sonnet.

thanks

sailor sapporo
Lamy 2000
Pilot knight (less than your target range)
Pilot Custom 74 ( a bit more than your target range)

There are many others but those are some to consider.

there is some good info here also.

Pelikan's are piston fillers not Cartridge pens like the OP is looking for. Also you will have to be pretty lucky to find them in the 75-100 dollar price range.

They are nice pens though. I have "a few" myself.

Love my vanishing point. Just a little over 100.00 though about 130.00 from Richard Binder. On the cheep my everyday pen is a Lamy Vista around 30.00+-. I am a mechanic and I hate to get the VP dirty.

I have purchased mine here There is a huge variety in terms of both cheap chinese and nicer pens. I actually have a crazy $8 chinese one with a + shaped nib that writes better than anything else I have used.

Take a look at The Fountain Pen Network too, if you dare

Conklin pens are worth looking at for cartridge fountains. Can find a good deal on ones on sale. But I will caution that they have produced a few duds. Even so, they stand behind their product and as in the case of the one I found on sale that the ink wouldn't flow worth a crap out of, they fixed it even though it was way beyond the warranty.

Another Vanishing Point user here.
It really fits my style. I suggest finding a store that will let you try many different pens before purchasing. The place I went to asked several questions and suggested the VP, and after about an hour of trying them all, he was right.

jeff
