Pilot Custom 823 Fine Or Medium Nib?

I posted this elsewhere but cannot find the image so re-uploaded.

 

Thank you so much for contributing real world data.

At this point, I would ask owners of the 823, who posses both versions (with an F and an M nib), to post here writing samples written with the two nibs.

Thanks for your time and effort, it will be very much appreciated.

Got an 823 fine and it has definite feedback on the paper. I like that and for note taking and my smallish handwriting there it is great. Regarding scratchiness, choosing the right ink will contribute to the smoothness.

I'm in the same boat and have been torn for months now about the F and M nibs. A writing sample would be awesome.

This is not data, but a purely subjective statement: my 823 F is my favorite pen and for me it defines how a pen should feel when it writes.

I have the same pen and I feel the same way.

I recently purchased the smoke black version 823 with Falcon nib and is one of my daily users. I also have the Pilot Custom 743 with F nib. They are two of my favorites right now.

Hi guys, I'm relatively new to fountain pens and I'm in a process of buying a Pilot Custom 823, but I'm having a very hard time deciding what nib size I should choose. I find myself at ease with the line width of pens like the Pilot Metropolitan (MR2) equipped with an M nib or other non-fountain pens such as the Pilot Hi-Techpoint Roller V5 or the Pilot Vball BG 05. Knowing that, what would you suggest me to choose: the F nib or the M nib? Thanks.

 

Hi! It is the same problem for me too. In other entry level pilot pens the fine nib is my favourite. But reading different and too many reviews made me confused about custom 823 nib size, F or M! A full page or substantial writing sample of both the nibs will be too helpful to thank enough.

As a former longtime user of Pilot V5 I am most comfortable with F nibs. Sometimes I do feel I should have gone to EF!

I just received a pilot 823 in fine, and I find it to have a little to much feedback and writes very fine. I ordered a medium, and can post pics once it arrives. I want a larger pen that writes the same as my medium metropolitan.
