Shipped fast and I was waiting at the door excitedly. Received it and filled it with ink. It makes lovely text, I hit on the perfect filling method with the Con-40, using just the converter and a dropper, pulling a little but if ink at a time. This has quickly become my favorite writer. Price is fantastic as well. Always wanted a calligraphy nib, fantastic! Read more

Comparing it to twsbi eco stub 1.1- Pilot CM (1.0) has more line variation than twsbi. It's just surgical. Perfect flow rate leading to less feathering on cheap paper (of course ink brand plays a major role, still the twsbi stub is just too generous with the ink). If you write SMALL and want a stub nib, this is the only nib you should get. BUT the ink reservoir is only 0.4 ml due to the included con 40 converter (twsbi has 3ml). Comparing to lamy safari stub 1.1- lamy has some scratchiness issue (it's a german nib, this is expected). Read more

Great, relatively small and inexpensive (calligraphy) fountain pen, coming with a converter. Prera has amazing ink flow, and whether writing fast or slow, on poor or good quality paper, it's smoothness is pleasing, without significant feathering. Also, the ink tone appears deep and reach. Without applying any force vertical lines are about 0.56 mm, approximately four times thicker than horizontal (0.14 mm?). The effect is stunning; interesting, clean and crisp writing. When a reasonable force is applied the vertical lines reach about 0.83 mm. Prera is light (just 1 gram lighter than Lamy Safari) and ballanced, while writing with a cap on. Without the cap the pen might seem a bit too light and short with its 107 mm for someone with bigger hands like mine. Read more

Ha una fluidità di scrittura eccellente, la uso tutto il giorno, unica pecca, sono le dimensioni della penna che ovviamente limitano anche la capacità del converter. Chiusura del tappo è veramente una cosa da cui tutte le altre marche dovrebbero imparare imho! Read more
