  Now that's a post worthy of both this thread and forum!  

Indeed, Leesure needs to be cited for such pure porn

  Hi.
Very new to the group, and I'm very new at all this so I have a couple rudimentary questions.
 
Comparing the Parker Sonnet and the Waterman Expert.
Which one has a finer 'fine' point?
What are peoples opinions... by comparison to each other or to the two pens that I currently have?
 
I own the Namiki Falcon and the Pelikan M215 (rings).
These two are used daily with black ink only. I use Nikimi ink in both, and have had no issues. I love them both (though I prefer the Falcon for writing, buy a very slim margin).
 
Your thoughts please!
 
Cheers.

 
I wanted to post a shot of my Falcon. Really like the way it writes.

Would that happen to be a stock nib? Or is it modified? (And any writing samples? )

Arrrrrr.... There looks to be a tempest a'brewin' in the ink well.

Stock nib.
And for samples... the out of focus notebook in the background is about as close as I'll come to posting any of my horrendous penmanship. 

 
But sure, I'll try to get something written carefully to post...
