I've been writing with this pen for a bit now, so thought I'd put my thoughts down, in case anybody was interested...
I'm definitely still getting used to writing with the pen, and the nib, and am far from proficient with it, but am definitely happy I pressed the button, and hope the learning part of ownership doesn't end. The 'pencil-like feedback' comments are accurate, and the variance in width--as well as the ability to shift from a regular to relative italic nib, in one nib--is incredible. Even more so than I've seen on writing samples, for my writing style.
The nib is stiff for what it is made of, really beautiful, aesthetically as well as practically the showcase of this pen. And the rest is very nice too, sturdy and solid (save for a little clip wiggle). Everything lines up, and my pen had no discernible flaws. I don't see any glue at the end on mine, but that could be more an issue with my eyesight than anything. Anyway if it is there it isn't noticeable.
To me the loss is the small ink capacity vs. the size of line this pen can put down: the included piston converter has a small tank, and the cartridges, which are proprietary, aren't much bigger (not that I would confine myself to limited ink choices anyway). And I wish the converter was different, as there's still some spare room inside the pen. Also not sure why the bit that you spin need be so long... Perhaps these are quibbles, and I'm conscious of the notion that producing a somewhat custom converter is not so easy or cheap.
But for me the end result is that the pen runs out faster than any other pen I have. My current fondness of writing with it may also play a part in this minor dissatisfaction, it's just something I will have to get used to. Which is just fine.
