I had a chance to handle..., April 4, 2012
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.

Got my new Pilot pen..., March 10, 2011
Got my new Pilot pen and tried it out. The cap posts well and the nib lays out a
nice fine line, but it's too light for my taste. If you like light pens, then
you might want to try this one out. But if you don't, you might want to think
twice.
I know the pen's acrylic but was still expecting something heavier. If you're
like me and compare weight to cost, then the pen is overpriced. Not to say it's
poorly made - it writes very well - it just "feels" like it's about $20
overpriced. The cost to weight ratio doesn't really give a fair assessment on
the pen's performance. But if you're like me and use that formula, then you'll
think that you paid too much for this pen.

AMAZING! I am in love..., February 11, 2013
AMAZING! I am in love with this pen. I ordered this pen along with Pilot
iroshizuki ink in yama-budo. It writes smoothly and consitently. I have smaller
hands and this pen fits perfectly. It has a good weight to it, not too much, not
too slight. Really, I couldn't have chosen a more perfect fountain pen for me. I
love the color of this pen paired with the color of my ink, a lot! I can't tell
you how nervous I was about investing so much money in one pen, but I am
completely satisfied!

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.

I've had this pen for..., February 4, 2013
This review is from Pilot Prera Clear Body Fountain Pen - Fine Nib - Clear Light Blue Accent
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.
