a lefty and is normally an over writer/pseudo side writer indeed a good nice round tip will work but not all round tips will work as I would say Sailor's are my bane (getting an un-tuned one more so), but I have a semi-flexi Pilot soft nib but since I'm a lefty I decided to for go with the soft Medium, it is close to a medium point that we all know from US and europe but I don't have any problems with them but it isnt the same as the same feeling I get from TWSBI nibs they are a bit dry with my normal writing method (nib is typically facing east if not south east when I write) but when I switch to under hand I'm not sure what exactly is happening but they seem kind of in the wet side for an F,M and EF thats saying something, stubs definitely I'm seeing problems I actually ground 1 Lamy broad nib to a stub and it's quite strange to look at. The flex I havent seen any problems as I tend to go underhand with them

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      @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.
