I wonder if anyone could post some writing samples to show the difference in the Italics and Stubs in Medium and Broad.
How fine is the needlepoint nib? I write very small, and need a very fine line. Most pens like Parker EF are still a little too broad. The best I have found for me is the Pilot EF nibs. They write a small enough line for me. Any help would be gratefully welcomed!
Thank you!
Needlepoint is pretty thin. Think Pilot F nib. You should be OK with a needlepoint, but if you want a comparison let me know and I can write out a sample as I own both.

I would love to see how both look. Many thanks!!
I actually had this same question, and that answers it. The Pilot F writes pretty thick for me as well, while the EF is a bit overly scratchy. Looks like I might need to consider the Needlepoint nib as I look over this. Thanks Mikeschu, count me in as wanting to see both if possible. That might help quite a bit.
Ask and ye shall receive. I apologize for the crappy paper and if the pic looks bad, but I'm doing this quick with an iPhone. Upon inspection the F-C needlepoint nib seems pretty close to the Pilot F nib, but we're also talking about what's potentially 0.1mm of difference. I can probably do another writing sample if you want.
Has anyone reviewed the black group buy 27 yet?
Wow, yeah. If that is the Needle Point compared to 78G, then I would -certainly- need to go with that. I think anything bigger would be rough. How does it write, scratchy-wise, to the 78G? About the same then?
Mike, thanks for the needlepoint demo.
Can we get some stub demonstrations from anyone?
I have the Medium Stub & Medium Italic. I actually have time tonight & will do a quick example of both, scan them & upload them. I was planning on doing it over the weekend, but was busy and didn't have time to flush them both and load them with the same ink.
