Pros & Cons
Pros
Fine line is a little wider than i like which is good for sheening or shading inks. Writes very smoothly, no scratching. Only minor quibble is that it writes more like a medium than a fine.
Plunger fountain pens over converters are a favorite of mine. The negative piston system works very well. The vacuum filler works great and holds a lot of ink.
Has a nice heft to it. It’s not too bulky or heavy. I'm in my mid 80's with arthritis in both hands so the nib swap was a bit difficult.
For the price this one is a no brainer. It beats the pants off any other similarly priced pens.

I have about 5 years experience with fountain pens but i had never owned a vacuum filler before
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
So i had to learn about backing off the vacuum plunger slightly to maintain ink flow to the feed and nib when writing more than a few lines

I inked it up straight from the box and i had some leakage around the goldcolored rings at the back and at the front between the grip section and the body

I believe the issue was that prefer to write with very little pressure of the nib onto the paper and the nib came with just enough 34babys bottom34 to cause the first stroke in a sentence to not put down ink
