Wing Sung 3001 (Pilot 78g clone) with a spare EF nib, with my mix of Noodler's Black, Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Black, Diamine Prussian Blue and a little bit dishwashing soap for lubrication. Writes beautifully.

I happen to start my 308 today also , inked with Krishna Brown Pink , somehow I've managed to fit a custom grounded Jowo no.6 onto my Strawberry Ice ( with gold plated appointment ) and no issue with the cap

Unfortunately, a couple of my Wing Sung 3008 pens have developed leaks (and I have the oil-slick thumb to prove it!). These are being cleaned along with one other that, while it did not leak, got stained badly in the section.

 

I still enjoy using them and have one filled with 5280 Flamingo.

Hi Richard,

 

Hope you enjoy using yours, as much as I'm enjoying mine.

I've had that same problem with two of my WS 3008. Leaves ink on both the thumb and index finger. Have not had

that problem with either of my Lanbitou 3059. How have you resolved the leaking issue?

Not yet. They are still being cleaned of stubborn ink.

Moonman M600S...

 

I have a teal- and a brown one on their way. Quite curious how they compare in look and feel to the Parker Duofold Centennial. I have one of these, a MK I, like it quite a lot. Plan on using the M600S pens in the office, so I opted for the F nib.

 

What nib is yours? How does it write on 'cheaper' paper?

Hi Thymen,

 

I have a Jinhao Medium fitted in mine, which is how I bought it. It is a stiff nib, which writes smoothly on all the paper types I've used, from spiral bound notebooks to Tomoe River.

 

I

 

In the hand, to me, it feels very similar to the Parker Duofold Centenial Mk I (the blue pen in the photos), but it wouldn't be fair to compare the nibs. The Duofold nibs are amongst some of the best I have used.

 

 

I would hope that you would be favourably pleased with your M600S's. Obviously, let us know what you think.

[Thymen]

I have a few Jinhao 159 and X750, some of which I have fitted with Jowo nibs from Fountain Pen Nibs. These Jowo nibs, once polished and optimized, are actually quite good.

 

Would these nibs fit in the Moonman too? I mean the entire nib unit, see below

 

Of course I'll try the original nib first, but just in case it's nice to know there are alternative nib units available.

Received my Moonman M600S. Ordered via ETSY on Juli 1, arrived July 9.

 

First impression: not bad.... not bad at all!
