I actually bought both last week and am trying it out now. first impression indicates the UF version is 'mushy'.

Thank you for the response. Defi nitely interested in future "experience" with these nibs, as well as comments from other users (even if they are not nib-to-nib comparisons.

My Best!

A grey day is really a silver one that needs Your polish!

I just put in a kanwrite flex nib in a penbbs pen. I'm really happy with the result. The nib is fine and precise and with some pressure the line has some expression. It's not a full flex nib but I think the effect and feeling provided is significant compared to run of the mill steel nibs by jowo or penbbs.

I also find the Kanwrite nibs to be better than the Noodlers and FPR ones and the "ease my flex" method works well with them

But for all I know they could be all buying their nibs from the same supplier...

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film.

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
