Great Pen!

This is a great pen! This is my second Opus 88 pen and both are very enjoyable to write with.

Long list of pros - beautiful demonstrator, very easy to clean, nibs are easily interchangeable, feels very sturdy, comfortable to hold, nibs are similar to Japanese nib sizing (finer than Western nibs), nibs are smooth, medium nib seems to work well with shimmer inks, cap seals well, flexible ink capacity. The pen has a reputation of preventing ink burps/leaks during air travel since the ink in the barrel can be shut off from the feed/nib. Haven’t tested this myself so I’m not sure how well it works.

Some things to consider - waterproof inks and certain inks may stain barrel, takes several turns to cap/uncap, small rubber gaskets can get loose during cleaning, cap doesn’t post securely, relatively pricey.

In spite of all the considerations, I really like the pen and highly recommend it.
