Just rinsed out my M1000 for an ink change and decided to take these comparative photos.

 

Capped, the 149 is slightly longer:

The M1000 is larger uncapped.

The slightly bigger cap of the 149:

The 149 has a slightly longer nib, it also depends on how deeply you set the nib into the freeder case during service.

The slightly slimmer and longer section of the M1000:

In conclusion, I can say that the pens are worthy rivals of each other, nearly equal in size, they differ in writing feel and ergonomics and differ hugely in their inner mechanisms.

 

I hope this was useful.

 

Cheers!

Hari

Wow, it's amazing. I'm not a fan of the usual Pelikan stripe body, but I would definitely buy that green (if I could afford an m1000)!

Is the 149 as heavy as the M1000? And how do they compare balance-wise?

 

I don't have any mechanism to weigh them precisely. However, to me they seem to weigh about the same, capped.

I use both unposted (a rarity for me) and I really prefer the balance of the M1000. The 149 feels so back-end-heavy to me.

Don't feel bad. I'm old; I'm meh about most things.

The 149 seems heavier, I have not weighed them but I am only talking about feel. I use both the pens un-posted. The difference lies in the feel of the nibs and also the grip, the slightly longer one on the M1000 is very comfortable, the 149 makes it up by offering a wider grip. The M1000 nib is way soft, the 149 nib is not very soft but is slightly springy, both the pens are lovable in their own way.

 

Best is to try both extensively at a shop.

 

Best,

Hari

i have both pens, and indeed both are impressive in their own way. still, for daily use and comfort in the hand, i still gravitate toward the 149.

Thanks, Greg and Hari. Hard for me to imagine using a pen that's bigger or heavier than the M800. I thought the 149 might be lighter than the M1000, but I guess not.

I can't remember his name- John...-did a great chart with weights and measurements, including centers of gravity. Here are the weights of the 149 and M1000-

149, uncapped pen=19.25G, cap=11

M1000 uncapped =23.25, cap=8.2

Some people say they march to a different drummer. Me? I hear bagpipes.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
