Can Anyone Please Post A Comparison Of Sailor F Vs Ef?

[dzarren]

I know what EF looks like, ive tried it in a store, but they didnt have F.

 

I was considering the sapporo in EF, but I really like the look of the progear Sigma, but that only goes up to fine.

 

Are they near in width? or is the extra fine just obviusly finer?

 

thanks! if you have pictures comparing, thats great!

Oh dang i just checked that out.

 

Theres no discernible difference in those images. Hmm perhaps the difference is very small.

 

I just saw a chart saying EF was 0.23mm and F was 0,30 mm. Thats a thirty percent difference, i dont really see it in the goulet thing though.

 

hmm. thanks!

Hmm not only that, the sample for "progear fine" is even fatter than the sample for "1911 medium"

 

I wanst aware that sailor was this inconsistent?

If you mean the nib nook, I think every sample just uses Noodler's Black and Rhodia paper (ie: should be accurate between each other as long as it's the same ink and paper, but different nib).

[dzarren]

Yes yes i mean the nib nook. I compared the 1911 EF and the F and there is no differnece i can see at all

 

but when i compare the progear F to the 1911 M, the progear F is even fatter. Dissapointing.

 

Im soo stuck between the progear slim and the progear sigma.

 

if the progear sigma came in extra Fine it would be ordered already. but it only goes up to fine, which is why im so worried, i want a nice fine line, and just dont know if theres much of a diffence between the F and EF in sailor. BUT im scared to order a FINE and get something fatter than a medium!!

The nib nook comparisons are done with the 14k nib. Perhaps there is a more pronounced difference with the 21k nib? I can see a clear difference in the nib nook examples, albeit very slight. I've ordered a 1911 w/ 21k extra fine nib, so I'll be able to give some writing samples in the coming days. Won't be able to compare it directly to a Sailor F, unfortunately, unless someone wants to lend me one for science

[dzarren]

Yes the 14k for sure. That's the nib I'll be getting.

Thanks for the help! I'm probably not going to fish getting the fine.
