Theroc - Now that you pointed that out, I see that the diameter toward the nib isn't that much smaller. Looking at a photo without the cap alongside, it appears much less tapered.
How do you like the pen @Theroc ?? I do love the look of it. I have been looking into the different copper pens/manufacturers. Definitely would like to find the right one when the times comes.... ( However, I just joined the Ensso PIUMA brass and waiting for delivery of two customs from ASA , so not joining this particular drop. )
j-e-gI have the aluminum version and quite love it.
I don't mind copper and brass but if they are up against titanium or even high-grade aluminum they loose.
I'm waiting for the titanium version to drop again, this time hopefully with a titanium nib option.
BaltoThe Pilot MR uses a bladder converter which you squeeze. The Namisu comes with a piston converter which you twist. Almost everyone who has more than one fountain pen prefers the latter. I think it's very easy to fill. You can also use cartridges with the Namisu which are basically foolproof.
