Does anyone have the Super5 with a 1.5 (Broad) nib ? It is the only nib size I don't have and am interested in how the 1.5 writes. More specifically - does it provide line variation and is it tipped or stub-like ?? Thanks - I don't have a red or white one ... yet.... :O

j-e-ghey j-e-g ... just looking at the pics on the description page, it looks like the 1.5 is tipped.
Just joined for the blue 1 mm! woot!

writerstephenHey - Hmmm..... @writerstephen , sometimes I liketo be sure the image(s) are correct. Sometimes I miss important stuff like that ! I have an eye on the 1.5... Might as well fill them. I don't know what it is about theses that I like so much, I just think the nibs are fun and the pens, while not a bit fancy, are durable for everyday ordinary stuff and even a little drawing. I happened to get another 3 drawer holder today, which makes room for another pen.. or 2 LOL !

writerstephenOK - @writerstephen - I was looking at the images closer - the pic of the nibs - Left to Right.... First ( unmarked nib ) is the .5 Second is marked 0.7 : Neither look like the nibs are tipped. I have two .5 nibs and one .7 - Neither of mine have tipping, they are more stub like. To me,they give greater line variation. The third nib is marked M , appears to be tipped. I assume this is the 1.0 mm I got a M in the last drop - It is tipped and it is super smooth (smoother than the .5 and .7) Fourth is B and appears tipped. Assume this is the 1.5 mm. I would think it would be smooth like the 1.0 mm tipped nib
So, now you got me to break and get the 1.5 mm. Stay tuned ;)

j-e-gYes that was how I interpreted as well.
Very glad to hear the 1mm is super smooth, that's the one i got. :)
Can't wait--hope this one is of the quicker massdrop variety. STILL waiting on my Diplomat Traveler.
