Pilot Metro(politan) = world market version, takes only Pilot brand cartridges

 

Pilot MR = EU market version, takes only standard international short cartridges

 

different pens, different feed systems. everything else is the same.

The UE version is only available in medium nib and i'm looking for a fine nib one

I was wondering if there were a UE based store that had the fine nib version, Metropolitan or cocoon, available

The MR only comes in M, unfortunately.

 

However ... the F off a Metro, Cocoon, Prera, etc. will swap into it easily enough. And there oodles of those floating around. New and used.

 

Heck, you could even swap an Italic or Extra Fine off a Plumix or Penmanship respectively into the MR if you so wanted.

That is what I did, swapping italic F from Pilot Calligraphy (I believe this is Plumix equivalent) into my Pilot MR. The F nib tolerates less than decent paper so I can use my MR on almost anything now and not have to be picky about writing surfaces as much as I have to when using the M nib that came with it.

      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
