If I attempt to strike a line, even at slower speeds, I usually do not end up with a continuous line

The fine nib makes a decent sized line, one that isn't too small or too big

Remember even with so much praise for Petit, I love thin line, sleek penmanship

I thought perhaps it was just the ink cartridge, so I got a converter and filled it with Noodler's polar black (after flushing the pen with an ammonia/water mixture), but I'm still having the same issue with not being able to strike a seamless line

But I don't mind the scratchiness in order to get the extra fine line and a more vibrant line.

Writes even more smoothly than the fine point (didn't think that was possible).A PLUS for the fine point - good pen to keep in a purse, because of the fine line it can write on any quality paper and still be readable.

Even using the included ink cartridge, I frequently lose lines or even entire characters when writing at speed with this pen; it simply isn't reliably delivering ink to the nib at a reliable, sufficient clip

It produces a nice clean line and feels good in my hand

It writes incredibly smoothly in proper orientation and makes a nice XF line with the nib upside-down.

The indented grip helps when holding the pen to ensure you always lay down a nice solid line

So the point of all this is that if you buy one pen or for that matter several they may all be scratchy and produce a extra fine line or they may all be smooth, the more likely case, and produce a normal fine line - but you can't know what it is until you buy it and try it so you might want to buy several spare nibs and just try them to find the very few that produce these EEF lines.

The tip writes a thin, smooth line

I've taken many pages of notes with it, it draws a smooth line

I don't know if there was a flow issue, too, but, with the fine point, the pen just felt scratchy, never really "flowed," and only laid down a good line when I concentrated really carefully on positioning

It lays down a nice deep rich black line of ink.

It lays a smooth and thick line

It always writes smoothly, is light in the hand and leaves a clear, unsmudged, unbroken line.

Fine nib draws a smooth, not scratchy line, and the section has cut out grooves to accommodate your fingers nicely

Writing with it is very smooth and it leaves a nice clean line - for a relatively cheap pen with a fine nib, I expected it to be a bit scratchy, but in fact it is very smooth; it doesn't have the problem of sliding out of control like more expensive pens I've used.

This leaves a nice fine line, and I think that the fact it is not left-handed is no problem at all.

Fine nib draws a smooth, not scratchy line, and the section has cut out grooves to accommodate your fingers nicely

The line it writes is nice and crisp and clear, i would equate it to about a 0.5mm pilot gel pen width, nice an fine, not too bold

Or if you like a extremely bold and wet line this would be an excellent pen

The fine nib on the Lamy also writes a better line than the Waterman (which must have a larger nib) and seems less scratchy

Rests naturally in your hand, and lays down an essentially perfect line

The nib is plain and doesn't have the "nuance" of my MontBlanc, but it puts down a solid line of enough fineness to keep me happy

The indented grip helps when holding the pen to ensure you always lay down a nice solid line

The EEF produces a crisper more vibrant line and I can produce very small writing that would be a blurr with the other nib.

Honestly, this pen has a much smoother feel and cleaner lines than some of the $70 fountain pens I have bought

It has a quick reliable line

And, most importantly, you can leave it unused for weeks at a time and it'll write well with a solid line right out of the gate

, I liked that, I have had pens that took awhile before they would begin to write, my only small disappointment was if this nib is a fine then I should have ordered extra fine because it lays a line of ink like a medium, but I will keep it, and it writes as smooth as butter (no kidding), so if you want a smooth writing pen this is it, but if you are looking for a fine

The extra fine nib writes with great precision, giving you nice and bright broad lines or very precise narrows

I thought perhaps it was just the ink cartridge, so I got a converter and filled it with Noodler's polar black (after flushing the pen with an ammonia/water mixture), but I'm still having the same issue with not being able to strike a seamless line

Springier feeling... smooth line, uniformity in delivery, effort minimization, material feel and may be looks

It's a pleasure to write with, laying down a nice wet line as soon as the nib touches paper

Perhaps true fountain pen lovers would appreciate a finer finish, but the contemporary lines of this simple pen make it perfect for my use.

Occasional interrupted lines/words

I got the F nib, should have gone with EF since I prefer a smaller line

I purchase the fine point hoping for a "fine" line of

but again, i'm used to the very fine line of the Zebras.

Very smooth and requires almost no pressure to lay down lines

I have not looked at the variation in the F nibs as I am only interested in getting the finest line in a reliable manner from my Lamy.

Writes a firm, consistent line.-Ink

but I have the Lamy ex-fine and that one has no issues, it makes great lines but this fine nib model makes full of crappy lines

But if you truly want a fountain pen that produces fine lines then look for a "Extra Fine" nib.- Exception to the above: A "Fine" nib from a typical Japanese round nib (Pilot/ Namiki) is more in line with what I personally think should be "Fine".- Google "stroke width chart for fountain pens"

It's a smooth writer and it produces a nice fine line but not too fine; just right in my opinion.

The lines are almost like morse code

Crazy line skipper

The EF enables, yes, this one really does, faster writing, cleanest line, least dispersion, consistency, very nice design to hold

but I have the Lamy ex-fine and that one has no issues, it makes great lines but this fine nib model makes full of crappy lines

The fine nib writes fatty lines.

I barely put any pressure on the tip and get a steady line

Smooth clean lines

What can I say about a fountain pen that never skips and puts down a silky smooth line in all directions
