Hi,
I would like to know who likes the M300, Omas Dama, and Omas Princess-sized pens beside me.

Just drop a note here. (Don't drop you name here if you don't like it.

)
I just want to check the demand for the size so that I can figure out why Omas stopped making Dama and Princess pens.

Don't forget: Omas is no longer an independent company. They belong to LVMH luxury group now. So these may have their say and own reasons to tell Omas about cleaning up it's product range.
BTW: there is also the little Montblanc Meisterstück Mozart FP.

I bought a Pel 320 (which is the same size as the 300, apparently) on Friday, and I'm utterly in love with it. It's just the right size.

Yea the 320 is just an orange version instead of the black or green stripped ones, I do love the 320 it is a great design! Love the colors

Don't have one, but would like to try it. They look sweet and comfortable.

I just bought a Pelikan M150 with a 0.6 stub nib from Richard. I think it's the same size as a P300(?). I usually like thicker pens, but I must say that the M150 is very comfortable and of course the Binder stub is terrific!

Hi,
The M300 is the smallest size, smaller than the M150.
Shall we say, a nice size for me.

Dillo,
I've never held an M300, but I find the M200 too wide. But in length and balance I think the M200 is perfect, since the cap posts very deeply. What matters to me is the girth and length of the section -- if it's narrow and long, I don't care about the girth of the rest of the barrel, but only the balance. It's only if the section is narrow and long that I can control the pen well while keeping my grip relaxed.
I might one day buy an M150 -- if I find it feels good -- but not an M300 or an Omas: I like old black pens.

The M300 is a great size for me. While I am not small, my hands are. I have a green 300. I really really really want the M320 in orange.
While there may be a few of us here that like the size, the majority of fountain pen users seem to have larger hands and prefer large pens.
