I ended up having two complaints with it. A minor complaint: filling it is a little disappointing with a converter. The converter capacity is not very large, and the design of the pen makes it tricky at times to actually pickup ink. Especially in an ink bottle that isn't filled to the brim. The larger complaint was that it slipped in my hands during extended use. I'm an exceptionally sweaty guy, and my hands are particularly bad. I think it was more that I wasn't a good fit for the pen than the other way around. Which is a shame, because mine was a Fine point, and I loved the way it wrote. If I'd had an easier time gripping it I would have loved the heck out of it, I think.
