Piston Filler Comparison (M600, Lamy 2000, Pilot Ch92, Twsbi)

Thanks for the great review.

 

My Pilot CH92 FM (with Waterman Serenity Blue ink) writes about the same line width was Pelikan M200 F (with Peilikan 4001 Royal Blue ink). However, CH92 is much wetter - may be because Waterman is a wet ink(?).

 

Your TWSBI writing samples show 580 EF got thicker lines than 580 F - which is a bit odd. TWSBI got quality control issues in their nib sizes?

I kind of noticed that too. Maybe because of the ink? Perhaps?

Congrats on the new pen. I have read that Japanese mediums run about as wide as a western medium and sometimes this catches people off guard since the F and XF nibs are so much finer than western nibs. It's another reason I haven't purchased a Sailor pen. I want to get their MF nib, but it's offered in a very limited range of pens. Japanese FM is my ideal nib size for Japanese pens. Pelikan XF and Pilot FM is pretty much identical in line width.

I don't own any CH92, but I wish I did. However, I have two Metropolitan M and they're slightly finer than my Lamy AL-star F. Isn't the nib width the same for Metropolitan and CH92?
