MonteverdeUSA Monza 3 Fountain Pen Set (Crystal Clear) - Medium, Fine, Omniflex Nib - Ideal Gift for Men & Women - Perfect for Office, Business, School, Gifts, Journaling, Autographs

This is a decent pen for the money. I bought it for the omniflex nib. The fine and medium nibs are bonus nibs that I'll probably never use, as I have same or similar nibs on other pens. It does look pretty much identical to my Sailor Compass, however - the cap ring and clip are different, but the pen body is pretty much the same. This kit is a better value if you can only buy one or two pens over the course of a year. It does come with three converters and two ink cartridges, but there's also an o-ring pre-installed so you can eyedropper this baby right out of the box.

First, I am pleasantly surprised by this pen. Reading and watching reviews, I did not expect much. However, it is actually not a bad little pen...at least the one I have seems to be made well. The barrel of the pen is watertight, and I have turned this into an eyedropper pen. It already has an o-ring where the barrel screws onto the section, and I added a little silicone grease to the threads just to make sure. Filled the barrel with Waterman Serenity Blue and it works wonderfully! It comes with three sections/nibs: one fine, one medium, and one "omniflex." Each unit also includes a converter. There is a one barrel and one cap, but you can switch out the nibs/sections easily.Second, the negative: I got it for the "omniflex" nib, but there is no flex. It behaves like a standard steel nib, somewhere between fine and medium. I can squeeze a hint of line variation out of it, but it's no different than any other steel nib in that respect. I am disappointed in the lack of flex. On the good side, the nib is pretty smooth, and the feed keeps up well. It is on the smaller side, but with the cap posted it is comfortable to write with.Overall, I think this is a good value for the money.

I have tried 2 of the 3 included nibs and both left large ink drops on my paper. The flex nib really didnt have much line difference and when i tried to flex it more I got a large ink drop on the paper. The normal nib left drops while writing normally. Very disappointing!

A great pen, good value for it's price. The omniflex nib is one of my favorites for day to day activities.

I find the find fine nib to be enjoyable to write with, but the flex nib is a disappointment. I have other pens with regular nibs that have more flex than the Monteverde flex nib. The flex nib also leaks lots of ink blobs as I’m writing.

Broke the nib on my original Monza (Fine nib) so I ordered the set that comes with a pen body and 3 nibs/converters so now I can have 2 pens with two different nibs inked at once!Great value for a economic workhorse pen.The flex nib is decent for the price point and would be a great intro to flex nib writing.

Very cheaply made pen, it’s more a novelty pen than a really good pen. Looks nice, works ok at best.

[UPDATE] The problem with leaking was due to defective cartridges. I used other cheap cartridges and the converters, and they work fine. The pen is based on the Jinhao 992, but has many upgrades: The F and M nibs are iridium tipped, made in Germany, and write very smoothly. The F writes like EF, and the M like F. The converters are better quality, with the tiny ball inside. The engraving on the band is more attractive. The deep red color seems to be unique to Monteverde. Comes in a nice storage box. So, overall, a good value. I'm using it a lot lately. Just buy some Long Standard International ink cartridges (2.6mm bore), or a bottle of ink.------I tried the flex nib first. Didn't flex well, but wrote ok. But today when I tried it the ink started siphoning out of it. I was using one of the provided ink cartridges, which fits loosely. When I received it I noticed it looks identical to the $3.00 Jinhao 992. On Reddit somebody says it IS a Jinaho 992, modified for Monteverde. Anyway, for $3.00 I would go with the Jinaho 992. It doesn't leak, the nib is smoother, and the cap posts better. I will try the provided "M" and "F" nib/section units to see if they do any better. (by the way, I've named the pen "Squirtle.")

Entrega en tiempo y excelente calidad realmente sorprendido para bien !!

Lo bueno:- La pluma se ve muy bien a 50 cm o más. Parece más cara de lo que es, la tapa atornillable le suma puntos, el color (rojo en mi caso) se ve muy bien.- Viene en una caja grande que se siente algo económica, pero es lo normal en este rango de precios, se agradece.- Obviamente viene con las tres partes frontales con sus plumillas o puntas y sus convertidores, además de 2 cartuchos de tinta.- Se desliza suavemente al escribir, es agradable, e insisto que tiene muy buen lejos.- Se agradece que el extremo de atrás no termine es esa bolita que tienen otras plumas económicas. De todos modos, tiene un pequeño agujerillo en el extremo trasero que casi no se ve.Lo malo:- No es una ganga. Que te pongan 3 puntas con sus convertidores por el mismo precio de una pluma económica, tiene su costo de oportunidad. Al tacto se siente barata, y si la desarmas también se ve baratita. Si le das golpecitos con la yema del dedo, también se escucha barata jaja.- Comparé el grosor de la lámina del plumín contra una Lamy Safari y la Lamy es visiblemente más gruesa.- La calidad de manufactura y materiales está LEJOS de una Lamy Safari, Pilot Metropolitan o una Pilot Prera.Lo feo:- La punta "Flex" de flex no tiene nada de nada, es tan dura como las otras.- La ranura del plumín fino, no está bien centrada y las dos mitades se llegan a juntar en la punta, lo que me dio una muy mala primera impresión.Si buscas una pluma que parece lo que no es, sí la recomiendo. Si quieres algo de buena calidad, quizá no es la mejor opción.

Havnt tryed any of the other nibs seems like a good pack writes pretty good. No body makes a decently priced flex nib. Disappointed.

Una pluma muy económica que cumple en presentación y en eficiencia. Los puntos tienen un trazo más grueso que el anunciado.

Boa caneta com três penas ótimas, a omniflex tem uma boa variação da largura do traço, mas para um bom efeito é necessária alguma habilidade e bastante prática.
