Thanks to everyone at Massdrop for making this drop possible! My pen arrived yesterday, and I love it. It's a gorgeous pen. The EF nib provides a little feedback, but it's by no means scratchy. I'm not a fan of buttery smooth nibs, and this EF nib is pretty much perfect. It's on the broad side for an EF, but I was expecting that. The Pelikan EF is similar to Japanese F-M or M gold nibs that I have. Thanks again to all involved.
