May I ask if the EF has an architect grind or is more like a "plain" EF? I have two older Montblancs with EF nibs, one from the sixties and one from the nineties, and they both have very distinct architect grinds. One that I recently had changed to an EF nib, does not. While I appreciate Montblanc's variety in making EF nibs architect grinds, they sadly do not suit my slanted cursive script very well.

@Arcadian My friend who has many 149 EF nibs both vintage and modern just received two of his 149 Origin with the EF nib exchange and he says that they write like the modern EF.  

 

I myself love my modern 146 EF nib on my WE it is very crisp with some softness and it is great for cursive writing but I still prefer my EF crisp Italic writers even if I have to grind them myself.

Thank you! I really appreciate your response. I wish I had the skill to grind nibs myself - I'm impressed that you do! I tried three or four times. Every one of them had to be sent back to the manufacturer to be rectified, at some cost.

a bit of both @Arcadian, under the loupe the tipping material has that architect look ie wedge shaped however because it is an ef, i get a straight up 1:1 line width vertical vs horizontal with my writing.  no issues with cursive either.

Given that your picture got pulled, I don't think it's actually available yet and it slipped out.

It would be interesting to see how the backend filling mechanics work.

Is it my eyes, or the ink is passing the ink chamber (right side)?

How might one flush this pen and nib?
