I've had this pen for..., February 4, 2013
I've had this pen for about a week now and I'm really pleased with it. I bought
the "Pilot Iroshizuku Fountain Pen Ink - 50 ml Bottle - Ku-jaku Peacock (Deep
Turquoise Blue)" to go along with it. When I first tried to use the converter
to draw in the ink, it took a little trying. The pen didn't come with any
instructions, so I was glad there was a blog entry on JetPens to instruct me.
After a couple of minutes of filling up the converter cartridge, I finally got
to writing, and it was great. The line is fine, and much thinner than I had
assumed. The nib isn't very scratchy, in my opinion, and feels pretty smooth.
I like the clear style pen, so I can see how much ink I have. And I like the
light blue accent that matches my ink choice. The pen is light, not heavy at
all, and when the cap is posted, it has a very good length. I've written with
this pen for a week now and I do have to say I'm very happy with it. I would
definitely recommend it.

Wonderful pen to write..., August 23, 2011
This review is from Pilot Prera Clear Body Fountain Pen - Fine Nib - Clear Black Accent
Wonderful pen to write with. Paired with the iroshizuku fuyu-syogun ink from the
same order, it's been the only pen I've used since I got it a week ago.

This review is from Pilot Prera Clear Body Fountain Pen - Fine Nib - Clear Black Accent
I picked up one of these when I was in Osaka, Japan. I love this pen. I have the
fine nib, and it's beautifully fine. The lid posts nicely, with a soft click.
Exquisite, especially for the price.

I had a chance to handle..., April 4, 2012
This review is from Pilot Prera Clear Body Fountain Pen - Fine Nib - Clear Pink Accent
I had a chance to handle this pen in person, and I'd like to say that this is a
very well built pen. The cap posts smoothly, and it feels substantial. I
certainly don't believe that the weight to cost can be applied to any pen, as I
have some custom ebonite pens, and they are light, but certainly not cheap, and
I also have cheap no name pens, that have a metal barrel that is heavy. This
pen, didn't feel too light, especially for its size. It's a bit smaller than
what I'm used to, but it fits my large hands just right. I wouldn't hesitate to
buy this pen for myself, and neither should you. The line is just exactly what I
expect from Pilot, not too wet, not too dry, but wet enough for its fine nibs to
glide effortlessly over the paper.

Received this pen three..., November 21, 2011
This review is from Pilot Prera Clear Body Fountain Pen - Medium Nib - Clear Black Accent
Received this pen three days ago. Jet Pens priced this pen very competitively
and their free delivery was fast and accurate. This pen has the same high
quality, from nib tip to clip my previously purchased solid color Prera pens
did. Box included both a converter (clear corkscrew type, not the squeeze-bag)
and an ink cartridge, which was very nice.
I regret buying this pen. The <M> medium nib writes much broader that the
previous medium nib solid color Prera pens I've bought from JetPens.com so Pilot
has really confused me. I don't know whether or not to purchase a <F> fine
point, because I don't know if Pilot has changed that nib as well. JetPens.com
has great descriptions and photos for all their products. I just wish Pilot had
made this change in nib public before I spent the money.
Thank you JetPens, but goodbye Pilot. I've about had it with your company.
