kamandiI have the EF, F, and M. I find the F great for general purpose use. It's nice and smooth, with the right amount of wetness to be pleasant. The EF is a little too scratchy for me due to it's fine line and relative dryness. The M is really nice to write with if you have good paper. It's a joy, but not practical for office use.

kamandiI have an EF and B. It's my favorite pen design. Both are extremely smooth pens when properly aligned on their sweet spots. I added an image so that you can see the difference in line widths. Paper is Staples multipurpose paper.

j-e-gOxblood is a really fantastic ink, I highly recommend it also. It is just a hint redder than something like Waterman Absolute Brown, which is a true dark brown. I attached another picture so that you can see the difference between the two, hopefully it shows up on the computer. It's neither a true brown nor a true red, which makes it a great everyday use ink. It looks distinct but is still saturated enough to be easily legible. On creme paper it tends to look just a bit more brown than red, but has a nice depth to it that the Waterman Absolute Brown lacks.
