How Does A Pelikan F Convert To A Mb 146 Nib?

[dcohenafp]

I am planning to buy a MB 146. I want to get a F, but found it to skip a little on a signature, at a MB Store, but the M was too broad. The salesperson says it was the pen I was writing with and a new F should writer thicker and smoother. I now use a Pelikan F m605 and am very happy with it.

 

How does a Pelikan F convert to a MB 146 nib?

My Pelikan F and MB 146 F are about the same. I also have a MB XF. Both the fine and XF write very smoothly. I have no skipping with either pen. Neither pens have had any adjustments and were smooth writers with no issues from the start.

 

I usually use Waterman or MB inks. Paper is generally Rhodia, Staples ARC, or similar.

 

I would purchase the MB 146 with the F nib, providing the Pelikan F is fine enough for you. You can always use the nib exchange program within the first 6 weeks if you are not happy with the width. Or you could have adjusted if needed to make it smoother, wetter.

I agree with DBQMary. Those testers are often abused.

My 146 F and M800 F write the same.

I appreciate everyone's comments. I will order the fine.

My MB 146 EF and F are wet smooth nibs, no scratching, no missed strokes

I got confused when I thought you were asking to convert a Pelikan nib to a Montblanc nib. I assume it's a typo and you mean compare

[dcohenafp]

Yes, I do mean compare.

I ordered a M after trying them out at the MB Boutique. The fine skips on a fast signature.
