Very nice review. I love the pen shots. That's why I got myself a Montblanc Starwalker Black Mystery w/ F nib. Whoah!

I loved your review - indeed a new standard of excellence. It has even prompted me to get my Starwalker out of its box and try to get the intermittent skipping fixed, though I do find the pen less comfortable to use than others - it just does not seem to fit my hand unthinkingly.

I recently had intermittent skipping problems with a Meisterstück 142. What solved my problem (for now) was soaking the nib and section for two days in distilled water. Considering the colour that still came out (after having it cleaned very thoroughly) ink build-up must have been the problem.

 

 

Outstanding review, thank you!

 

Your review, passion, and penmanship are something for me to aspire to. I found your review of the 149 terrific and hilarious (at your intended humor).

 

I know there are many MB haters, understandably so, but I've always fancied the brand and design. As with many high-end manufacturers, the high price facade both lures and disgusts, only to be determined by which side of the fence you stand. For me, you've helped steer me towards my next pen, my first serious "investment" pen.

 

Cheers!

I have quite a number of recent MB's and these are the pens that got me (re-)interested in FPs in the first place. Now that I am starting to learn more, it is easy to see that they are somewhat overpriced and that a lot of their competition is not getting the mainstreet attention they deserve.

 

But heck, that is marketing for you, and unless we want a Politburo determining what we write with, we can only hope that other FP brands find new ways to develop their business.

 

Until then, it will take the uninitiated some time and experience to learn the intricacies and variety of FPs - a journey I am still enjoying.

 

For the sake of completeness - I still like writing with my MBs very much - they are just somewhat over-represented in my collection (for the time being ;-)

Wonderful review for a great looking pen. I got mine, a Midnight Black resin not too long ago and enjoying every bit of it. I ran back into the shop again to pick up a rollerball/fineliner of the same design for purpose of drawing and more casual use.

Fabulously gorgeous pen... I held one in my hands and it was smooth. The lack of an appropriate piston converter bothers me, and the Monteverde one is far too small... It's the only thing keeping me from getting it.

I've had the rubber and platinum for 2 years now. I liked it when I first got it. For some reason, it now seems to be smoother than when I first got it, and it glides beautifully. I really love this pen. BTW - your pictures are great.
