The Cross ATX has a cartidge converter that screws into the body. It has a threaded front like in the picture below. Do any other manufacturers do this sort of thing?

The Visconti Opera pens use a screw-in converter, so I suspect other Visconti c/c pens may as well. There are people here who know the answer to that one.

I came here for the pictures and stayed for the conversation.

Some Viscontis have threaded converters. For example, the Van Gogh Maxi has a threaded converter, but the Rembrandt does not.

MB 144 threads in as well as most Waterman models and I believe the Lamy Safari does.

 

The Safari doesn't. Instead, it has U-shaped places on the section and little "buttons" (or sticky-outy bumps) on the converter to slide into the U-shaped places.

Thanks for all the answers everyone. Slip in converters have come out twice in the last week and leaked Noodlers Baystate Blue all over my hand. It's embarrassing since 95% of my job is working at a client's location. I am done with slip in converters. I didn't realize there were so many with the screw in converters. I am excited that the Varuna and Conway Stewart pens have screw in converters. I'll have to check out the others as well.

The majority of C/C filler Lamys have a screw-in converter--the Studio, CP1, and Accent, for example. Only the Safari and Al-Star have the slip-on type.

As long as we're on this subject. . . . .

 

Does anybody know of a screw-in converter that will fit my Reform Czar? The original (Reform-branded) screw-in converter that came with it is a bit stiff and balky at times. I noticed the converter from my OMAS Emotica fits it neatly, but it's not threaded, it's just a friction fit.

FWIW, the Lamy AlStar/Safari/Joy converters feel to me as if they snap into the little guides and I've often had to "rock" them to get them out.

Lamy Safari does not. There are just retaining pegs in the converter that snaps into the pen.

The heart has its reasons which reason knows nothing of.

Lamy used to produce three converters Z24, Z25 and Z26.

The Z24 is used on Safari, Joy and AL-Star fountain pens; the Z26 is used on Logo, Linea, CP1, Alu and other fountain pens.

 

The Z25 was the only recent screw-type converter in the Lamy range and was intended for Persona and Accent fountain pens.

Unfortunately, Lamy has ceased production of the Z25, although at this stage they are still readily available.

 

I prefer the Z25 type because of its more secure fit, but owners of Persona and Accent models may soon have to start using the Z26 instead.

If I am not wrong, Montegrappa produces threaded converters too.

If this is such an issue why not get a piston fill?

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
