By shb...

I've had this pen for about a week now. I'm starting to like it a bit better - for me, the nib was so fine that ink would not flow, so I finally slid a thin sheet of plastic between the tines and spread them out just a tad and now it writes well. The grey color is fine for work, and I am now using this pen as my daily carry. It's very solidly constructed, and the lid is secure either capped or posted. All hardware on the pen is solid. I may get another one.

By dfbldwn

1) An outstanding fine point, perfect for making quick notes in margins or short entries in my journal. I didn't know such a combination of fine line and smooth consistent flow to paper was technically possible. This nib seems incapable of skipping. Unlike the _EF_ nib in the Penmanship, which seems better suited for finest detail and drawing, this nib can still be used for writing.

2) Maintains a fine line even on poorer paper, including newspaper crosswords, when using Noodler's Black (warning: non-zero Nib Creep with this ink).

3) I even use it in handwriting practice as the finer line reveals errors in letter shape that were (ahem) hidden using edged nibs or normally tip'd nibs.

4) I received it on 25 Oct 2010 and it came with two cartridges and one CON-20 converter.

5) Actual color is quite close to that of the last photograph showing pen and cap adjacent to it.

6) The cap has magnets in it. Strong ones. I'll try to keep it a safe distance from portable memory devices (USB flashdrives, camera memory cards) and my digital watches and calculators.

I waited several months for jetpens to restock this pen and it has proved well worth the wait.

This _F_ nib and its _M_ sibling are so good I'm compelled to take all our Pelikans from Fahrney's Pens and put them up for sale.

By troyes71

Nice pen, stylish, lightweight. The Fine nib is much finer than the Lamy Safari Extra Fine nib, and lays down an almost needle-like line. It writes and draws better on a smooth 65lb or less paper. On heavier paper with a bit of texture, the nib will feel slightly dry and scratchy.

By faieonline

I bought this pen to be used for sketching, and I'm glad I did. The nib is fine enough to draw little details, and it writes smoothly. It is a bit too lightweight for my taste, though. Paired with a waterproof ink such as Noodler's Bulletproof black, it will make a good drawing pen for artist, which will be economical in the long run. And like the previous reviewer wrote, I love the 'click' sound this pen makes when I cap it.

  Smooth & Fine! Just what..., February 10, 2012

By bev...

Smooth & Fine! Just what I was looking for. I favor the Japanese standard for Fine (this writes finer than the German Lamy & Kaweco Extra Fine nibs). This is my new favorite pen. The size and weight are small and light, which is also what I prefer. The pen width and grip is comfortable. The cap is airtight & has a soft click to it. And I love the classy Slate Gray color! I just may get another one in a different color...
Like the other reviewer mentioned the ink output on my pen was originally very light so I also spread the tines ever so slightly with a plastic report cover and the flow is perfect now.

  This is my second Prera,..., October 1, 2011

By par...

This is my second Prera, and I like it as much as the first. It fits in the hand like the right sized glove, writes and writes and draws and draws a fine line (approx. 03 when compared to others) and is well balanced.

It is light weight and small, but it is just perfect for a pocket, bag or pen case and offers you a great writing experience at half the price of many of the fountain pens on the market--and way up scale from the Penmanship, another pen I favour.

Does it come with a converter? The image implies that it does

By jason

Just got this today and love it! This is my first time writing with a fine nib fountain pen and it is indeed a fine line but it looks great and writes extremely smooth. The pen is much lighter than I expected. I love how the cap clicks in to place. A wonderful fountain pen. I am sold on Japanese pens and now I want a Stella 90!
