I usually have maybe a dozen pens inked at a time, but these two are my favorites at the moment.
The top pen has the distinction of sporting the thinnest-writing nib I have ever seen on a fountain pen. I also have a Rotring Isograph 0.1 technical pen, and I can't tell a difference between the lines of the two pens.
The nib is flexible but one needs to press. The body, as well as the feed, was made a long time ago by Shawn Newton, and it is an ED fill.
The second pen is a Pelikan M1000. I remember when I bought this pen, it was in late 1997. However, it was only two days ago that I managed to put the nib in it. The feed also is not Pelikan. This nib is a lot softer than the other one, but not a noodle; one can write easily without flex.
Yes, nearly all the pens I own have dip pen nibs, and those that don't, just sit in the case!
