The best fountain pen I've used.,

This review is from: Mont Blanc Meisterstuck 149 Fountain Pen (Office Product)
This is an outstanding fountain pen all around. It writes well, very smoothly, and it looks great too. I'd have to say my handwriting with this fountain pen looks much much better vs. before I got this pen. I've let others I know use it too and again it seemed to make their penmanship look better. If you look closely on the tip you can see just how much detail went into this pen. You get what you pay for, definitely.
FinalVerdict: If you need a fountain pen and you aren't on a tight budget this is the one to get.

Not a pen, a fine writing instrument.,
By
This review is from: Mont Blanc Meisterstuck 149 Fountain Pen (Office Product)
I have owned three MB Meisterstuck fountain pens, and have used one since the 1970's. One was stolen; the other two I keep at my desk. There is no substitute for a fountain pen, and a really good one like the Mont Blanc is a great investment. Writing in ball point, roller ball and other modern devices appears lame beside the confident, fluid strokes of a good fountain pen. It surprises me how many people will concern themselves with the very best in wrist watches and tailoring, and then sign their correspondence with a dime store ball point. As all fountain pen users know, the longer you use a good fountain pen the better it conforms with your writing style and the smoother your handwriting becomes. This is especially true of the Mont Blancs whose nibs are like jewellery. Don't lend your pen to anybody else to write with once you've broken it in - it will scratch. They are sensitive to the ink you put in them too, and should periodically be refilled with fresh ink (preferably the Mont Blanc brand.) It also helps to flush your pen about once a year with a dilute solution of household ammonia in water. With care, your Mont Blanc will last longer than you will and help add pleasure to your penmanship and distinction to your correspondence.

Expensive pen, decent writer, a little over-priced,
This review is from: Mont Blanc Meisterstuck 149 Fountain Pen (Office Product)
The 149, with its large nib and big ink reserve, is the better writer that Montblanc has to offer. The nib is fairly smooth out of the box, although not as smooth as other fountain pens at the similar price point. The factory black ink that comes with the pen is probably the worst I used: poor flow, light grey/brown color, and no water resistance at all. It works much better with Aurora or Pelikan black.
The pen is large and wide, but fairly light for its size. For me, it's much more comfortable to hold compared to the smaller sized ones. The pen is made using"precious resin", which is definitely better than plastics on cheap disposable pens. However, it is not as nice as the light weight cotton resin on OMAS, and it feels cheap compared to the fine Lacquer finish of Dupont pens. I paid about $700 for this pen at a retail store. I have bought much better writers (Dupont, OMAS, Pelikan, Cartier) at the same price point, and all of them proved to be better writer than this MB 149. On the other hand, it's a respectable black fountain pen to bring into a meeting to impress clients, as most people don't know other fine pens. Overall, this pen is probably better suited as a dress piece as opposed to a writer's pen.
