I have the 743 with a Soft Fine nib. It is an exceptional pen and a very good alternative to the 823. The CON-70 converter is easy to use and relatively easy to clean with a blunt syringe. I love the nib which provides a sufficient line variation for me in my noemal writing. Excellent review.

Excellent video

Excellent video, thank you. Much appreciate the writing sample.

I’m enjoying using mine with a stub nib. Have you done a review of the Endless Creator retractable fountain pen?

Beautiful! Thank you, it helped me choose which pattern I will order! ❤

So, how much for basic pen, how much for gold nib?

I don't like the design. You'd be better served sticking a 14k nib on the Scala.

At that price point I was expecting a cap.

I view the base one as if you can't afford a luxury item but want the best writing experience we can offer, this is the compromise, but if you can spend more the others really are much more beautiful. To me, there are then many many urushi pens that I think look lovely, but most lack that "it" factor that makes me buy them below the $4000 mark, but when I saw that first year of the Iro-Miyabi they blew me away, in every color. The texture caught my attention at first, but the colors are somehow perfect. There is just something so pleasing about each of the colors.

I mean, this looks cool and all but it's a normal pen with a converter...

I don’t know why but mine doesn’t move at all when I try to unscrew it.

Just got mine today, very cheaply made pen. Torque fill is a gimmick. But worst of all is the nib. Complete garbage. Save your $70 and purchase a reputable pen instead. Nib has no tine gap, feed is not even close to being centered. Writes like a nail on a chalkboard. Junk!!😢

I came to see how it wrote, guess, I'll look elsewhere

The pen looks beautiful but the size! Not what I was expecting from this company.

They look stunningly beautiful! I’m assuming the tag comes off from the pen clip as that would annoy me!!

Thanks for this video

Thanks, I never understood how the feed actually worked at this level of detail before.

You make a good point about writing slower. It also helps to bring out the best in your ink, allowing less saturated inks to shade. It also helps the feed to keep up and prevents railroading.

I’m going to be terminally uncool and say that this looks like a lovely ladies pen. The converter looks to have a reasonable capacity for the size of the pen. Can you tell me if the stub nib has any tipping material on it,or is it ground/polished a bit? I find many stubs too sharp.

How easy is it to spin that top and have ink leak out?

Visually it´s an absolute eye-catcher.

It sort of looks like more of a gimmick than am innovation. I do like the Schmidt nib. Of the few pens I have that use their nibs, all have performed well, possibly better than Bock.

Lovely. I have been looking for a suitable vehicle for my Opus88 Omar’s. The place I got it from have nothing large enough. Daft eh.

What a great color! Twisbi steel nibs are unreasonably good for their price

Beautiful pen. I do not have a 580 but I do have the Eco Indigo Blue. Also beautiful

Thank you sir for your excellent review. Can you clarify the words at 0:25 of the video where you say "...possibly not to the ?? amongst you..." Thank you :)

Both Leonardos - Momento Zero and MZ Grande

Very good dissection and demonstration of the fountain pen, John. Also i also enjoyed the pen you used for the demonstration. Delta?

Why don’t everyone else use this design??? Why are the other pen makers so inferior?? Would decimate the craft caste for losing this badly.

Loved it. Something else caught my eyes was your beautiful watch. Is it a Cartier?

How big the nibs are? #6 or #8 ? Smaler than KOP or the same?

爪を切ったほうがよいかもですね(笑)

A nice pen but I'd rather see Leonardo's nibs with more sharp edges, like in Pilot or other classical pens. Installing standard nib in such a unique pen 🖋️ imo is not too fortunate.

Thank you for the review. I had not heard of Leonardo had started to release pens under the Radius name. It looks like a nice everyday writer. I wonder if this pen has the same options for nib selections. I like the Elastic nib from Leonardo.

Another great video! Enjoyed meeting you in Shrewsbury last month! From your #1 Canadian fan

BTW ... I would not mind and I am sure neither would other viewers of you channel for Poppy on occasion to be a visible co-host of your show :)

What a pity that Leonardo brought over to this pen the one design element I don't like about Leonardo pens - that conical pointy end to their pens :) The blueish swirly version of this pen is sooo gorgeous.

Love these reviews.

I'm sure it would have been a superb video if your hand wasn't in the way.

I have never seen how the pens are painted. Thank you for this.

Thank you for the comparison.

Naginata NMF nib is perfect for writing,indeed💯

Thanks for the video, which ink did you use?

I supposed you'd get the same writing experience by attaching a Lamy gold nib to a Lamy Aion. That's my favorite fountain pen combination.

Es ist ja schön das so viele Menschen Videos zu neuen Füllhaltern machen, aber es ist auch so schade das sooo Wenige auf den Zustand ihrer im Großformat gezeigten Hände achten… manchmal bleibt unklar ob es Nagelpilz ist, oder einfach nur Dreck …

Absolutely beautiful wraps. I love kimono silk.

Lovely pouches and wraps. I do prefer these to the typical pen sleeves and wraps on leather. You should try the Esterbrook pen cup. It is ingenious.

Sorry, but what the point of doing a pen review without a writing sample

Thank you John, can't wait to get mine!

Long time
