PilotMR Fountain Pen – Retro Pop Purple

What a fantastic fountain pen for the money! I prefer using it over my lamy safari and parker 51. It has a great ink flow and writes smoothly despite the steel nib. It has a good weight to it and fits comfortably in my medium-sized hand. I'd like to see these made in nicer colors, perhaps without the band design. Note that this is the euro version of the Metropolitan - requires you to order a standard ink converter if you want to fill the pen with your own ink. It comes with a very small cartridge of ink that I did not use.

Lovely pen with comfortable grip. Nice design. Bought to replace one I damaged trying to fit a plunger ink reservoir. Original was also from Amazon but turned out to be American type seating not International Standard so beware! The new one takes I.S.

One of the best fountain pens I’ve come across for this price. I had a purple one before my blue one and it lasted me a year and a half being used everyday for school. The only problem is that the ink that fits it is pretty expensive so it is an investment. It flows nicely on the page though and isn’t too heavy. Would recommend!

It says there is a cart included ,well I don't have any

As another reviewer has commented, this is a very nice pen, but when I received it the pen had fallen out of its metal case and the metal case was damaged, dented in two places. As a fountain pen collector, the case is important and I would have expected it to have been in perfect condition, as the pen is new.I think that a little more care taken with the packaging could have prevented the damage.

Great pen for the money, nice and lightweight. Bit hard to find the correct sized cartridges in different colours though

One of my everyday pens and it's a nice writer.Suitable as a kid's pen.

I love Pilot fountain pens. This series looks great and well made, and the pens are well balanced and write well. This is my second one. Problem is, I really don’t know which market pens from this series are made for, and each pen seems to be different. They don’t take Pilot converters. They should take standard international ones. For my first pen I used a Pelikan but it broke as the part that attaches to the pen seemed to be a tiny bit too narrow. I then bought a converter in Taiwan, plus an identical one as spare. I thought it would fit this second pen I bought, but surprise: not at all! I ended up using a Jinhao converter I happened to have and so far so good. So this is a great pen but if you plan to use bottled ink it’s a lottery and nuisance. Would advise against buying unless you can get one for a seriously discounted price.

I love these Pilot pens. I decided to get a little fancy and got the retro green variant. As with my other black pen, write quality is great. I can leave it for 3 weeks and it writes instantly when I write (using Noodlers Marine Green ink). Using their Heart of Darkness black, I did have to run it over water. But thats my expectation if you're leaving one of these pens for so long. Anyway I'm not an expert with these pens, but I like them enough to have 3.

Blev inte nöjd med köpet eftersom den inte gick att använda, inte ens med konvertern som jag köpte till.

Es una pluma de un color muy bonito, escribe muy fluido y tiene la apariencia de una pluma bastante más cara.La compré porque tengo otra de la misma colección en otro color y así puedo tener cargada una con tinta negra y la otra con tinta azul, por ejemplo.Me gusta mucho que pesa y la presentación, en una caja de metal con una espuma protectora.Lo dicho, una pluma bonita, con material de calidad, que escribe muy bien y a un precio que, para la calidad que tiene, es de risa.

Hervorragende Qualität und sieht super aus. Auf sehr glattem Papier, wie bei Clairefontaine, ist der Strich sehr dünn, schreibt aber zuverlässig und ohne zu kratzen. Auf billigem Druckerpapier, das sehr viel saugfähiger ist und viel Tinte aufnehmen kann, schreibt die Feder dann recht dick, trotzdem immer noch sehr leichtgängig, kein Kratzen wahrnehmbar. Der Füller ist bequem zu halten und liegt sehr angenehm in der Hand. Die üblichen Tintenpatronen von Herlitz passen einwandfrei.

Je m’en sert tout les jours et j’adore sa pointe , elle glisse sur le papier, j’ai redécouvert la joie de réécrire avec un stylo à plume de plus sa couleur est très chatoyante!
