Can I pick your brains please- I purchased an m215 via Amazon for what I considered a good price, came with an M nib, lovely smooth and wet, however as I've now found I think I prefer a finer line. Also took a chance on a 400nn that was incomplete on eBay ( missing clip n screw top) gunked up etc but nothing that warm water couldn't fix- I bidded as it came with an OB nib that has a little bit of flex( in no flex expert am actually a noob) and 'looks' sharp edged like it's had work done- writes fantastically, not as smooth as the M but bugger all tipping on it. I don't lean to the left so the oblique bit isn't really for me BUT loving the line variation, too broad for my daily use tho so...
If I'm looking for apx 0.5/0.6mm do I get the M reground? Do I get the vintage OB worked? Or do I buy a new F n get made italic? I think I'd like a vintage F / italic but hens teeth! I don't want to be spending too much it's only a 200 series pen.
I've googled/ searched etc but my mind is melted with so much info I can't see wood from trees
Thanks for your time, help a noob out
Are the 2tone modern 400 nibs flexier or just prettier?
