I finally got around to picking up a Majohn A2, and it has been a phenomenal writing experience! For an extra fine nib, it is wet and smooth, just the slightest bit of feedback from the paper. While the action of the push button has a noticeable hitch in it, it is still a very satisfying frob to play with. The size is perfect for the weight, and the clip doesn’t get in the way of the way that I hold it. The only thing that sucks about it is that now I want one in black that I can fill with Platinum Carbon Black and a dark blue one to fill with Diamine Midnight. Many thanks to @[email protected] for the review that sparked my desire!

    I got a Majohn P139 and I thought of the same thing - Why did I wait this long! The A2 looks like a great daily carry pen.

    Welcome to the club.

    A friend recently showed me his genuine vanishing point and we compared them.

    There are a few minor differences, but the Pilot nib is much smoother compared to the majohn one.

    Still love mine. I’m not about to spend £200 on a genuine one.
