It's good to hear of other fountain pen fans. I use them a lot for calligraphy, of course, but I've always appreciated a fine writing instrument.
I'm looking for a good fountain pen with a narrow italic nib - narrow being the issue, as the Lamy Safari (http://www.thewritingdesk.co.uk/showproduct.php?brand=Lamy&range=Safari&cat=pens) (cheap and cheerful but writes well) narrowest nib is 1.1mm. I rather like the some of the Parkers myself, as they go down to an extra-fine nib... although of course the ones I like start at £200 and head northwards rapidly. :) When I come through Heathrow in February I might stop at The Pen Shop and see if they've got a Parker Sonnet with an extra fine nib in stock.
