I have the white model and can recommend without regret.

Answer is YES. I have the white-silver model M205 in extra-fine. This is my best pen with a steel nib.

I have a green marbled M200, which I love, and a red M205 is on my to-buy list. Nuff said!

I have the Taupe 205 and love it. Just the right size for me and smooth writer.

I love my duo highlighter with BB nib. Stays with me all the time. Great for grad school!

That is a neat color - I hope that, at this point, you went ahead and bought the pen!

Yes, if you like the red. The m2xx series are terrific pens. I've had some nib issues with early 2000s models but earlier NOS models and more recent ones have been very good out of the box.

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      ...random aside - I still have some 30 rolls of unused, long-expired Kodachrome 64 film (35mm). They have been frozen since 2009. No idea why I have held on to them for this long, but I guess I'm hoping for a miracle. I too have never developed colour film but I still d&p my B&W to this day. As a passion, of course.

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.
