Ef Nib Writing Comparision - Visconti Homosapiens Vs. Mb 146

[ItsMeDave]

My brand new 146 (red gold, EF) vs. my only slightly less-new Visconti Homosapiens Bronze Age (EF).

 

Probably not a totally fair comparison because the inks are not the same, the Sailor ink bleeds a little more, which makes it a good candidate for the 146.

 

The bounce in the Visconti nib makes it especially nice to write with, but I love the MB as well.

Two of my favourite pens! I have a 146 in F and that is about as fine as I would like it to be, but the idea of an EF Visconti is something I toy with from time to time (mine is . How do you like the Mystrey Black ink?

whoa.. that Visconti EF looks more like something between fine and medium

The Mystery Black isn't black enough for my taste, I much prefer Noodler's X-Feather, but I thought I'd try an MB ink for the first fill of my 146.

Man.. I've been teetering on edge about picking up Visconti HS Bronze EF but it writes like a western M! Looks like it may be too broad for me..

True - the EF, F and M writing samples on Goulet for the HS all look to be about the same.
