Lanxivi Majohn S5 Fountain Pen Fine Size+Two Additional Tips (Wide and Bent) Clear Transparent Acrylic Eyedropper Filling

This is a nice deal for an eyedropper fill fountain pen, and would be good for someone just starting to learn about fountain pens. I bought the "fine-wide-fude" version and the fine does write very fine - for me I think the "extra fine" would be too fine. The "wide" is actually a small stub, and it writes well. It's easy to change the nibs, and all them work the way they should. You may have to watch a youtube video on how to fill an eyedropper pen, basically you fill the pen using the included (nice) eyedropper up to the threads, then partially screw in the top unit (with the nib attached of course) then flip the pen over facing nib down, and screw in the nib top assembly the rest of the way. This forces the ink to go into the nib unit. A drop of ink should come out and you will be ready to write. You can repeat the process if it doesn't work the first time. Cool little pen. It is made of plastic so be gentle with it, and use a decent ink designed for fountain pens and a smooth paper designed for fountain pens.

This pen is very light, very comfortable in the hand, and holds a generous amount of ink. I’ve only written with one nib so far but it’s smooth and reliable, and a fast starter. I like it a lot!

I purchased this pen for two reasons: 1. Moonman/Majohn are usually very good pens and 2. The cap was supposed to post. Technically, the cap does post; however, it doesn't stay there. It doesn't have a tight fit when posted so the cap rattles around and falls off. Because this is a fairly short pen, not having the cap means the balance is off and it changes the way I have to hold it. It writes beautifully and works amazingly well with shimmer inks. I just wouldn't be able to write with it for long because of the shortness of the barrel. My hands are not large--they are pretty average in size. So if you have small hands or like using short pens, you will be very pleased with the way this pen writes. If having a pen that posts is important to you, this isn't the one. I will use it for particular decorative writing tasks, but it won't be my go-to pen which I had hoped it would be.

The pen was easy to fill with the ink. I love that it’s clear so you will always know the ink level. The nib of the pen writes very smoothly. I love to hand, write notes, cards, and letters. This pen seems like it will last for a long time

The media could not be loaded. **EDIT: As there are no instructions that mention this I want to highlight that the different nibs are threaded at the bottom so much be UNSCREWED rather than pulled out. If you pull it out first, you may have to put it back a specific away to get it to catch the outer part and then unscrew as a whole. Alas, I have already broken mine and prefer to not set another $30 on fire.**This is the second pen I’ve bought from them. The first was supposed to be a fude/bent nib. But what I received was a version labeled as such but actually just a medium regular nib. So I returned that and thought I would try ordering the same version again. However I then came across this version…It includes three nibs and one is a bent nib like I was looking for. They couldn’t possibly mess that up…Well I was wrong; because as you can see in the video, there is a larger ‘receiver’ type piece that a fluted inner plastic piece slides into and holds the nib in place. I absolutely cannot get this bigger plastic part out and the manual only includes pictures about using different ink converter types (why idk, because it does not come with any ink converter, just an eye dropper to fill the ink chamber passively.)I made the poor decision to attempt forcing this center piece out myself using a needle nose pliers (both pushing from one end and trying to pull from the inside. Which didn’t work of course soo now it’s probably too mangled to return and I’m out 30+ bucks.I’m inclined to keep trying but even I do ever figure this out, I wouldn’t rate the pen highly due to this experience.

I've been looking for an eyedropper pen for a while, just to play around with, and this Moonman has been on my shortlist... and I'm glad that I ordered it. The pens comes in a metal box with two extra nibs and an eye-dropper, which is great (though the included instructions are only in Chinese). I inked up the pen with Colorverse NASA Blue, which seemed fitting for a Moonman pen, and started trying it out.The installed is a what I would expect from a normal European-style fine nib, in terms of line width. The nib is smooth enough to be comfortable and has a little bit of feedback, but it's not scratchy at all. The ink flow is very good, so I didn't have any trouble getting sheen from the ink I was using, and there were no hard starts or inconsistent lines. All in all, just what I'd expect from a good pen in this price range.The bonus, for me, was the little stub nib that was in the box. Like the fine nib, the ink flowed really nicely with this unit, and I loved the variation in line width; I only have one other stub nib and it's much wider, so this is a great intermediate for me. Very happy, overall.As you can see in the pictures, this pen is very similar in size to my Diplomat Excellence A2, and they're both on an A5 sized notebook for scale.I think that the grip section on this pen is best suited for someone with smaller hands, though I have large hands and it's still not too bad; my only issue is that I sometimes want to pull my thumb back off the section a little bit, and when I do, it rests on the pen's jewel, which is a little uncomfortable. I suppose that could easily be fixed by twisting the nib unit a bit so that it's not lined up with the jewel. Anyway, overall I'm happy with this thing, especially for the price.

I knew I would like this pen because I have 2 Moonman pens by Majohn. They are good writers. I filled this new pen, the Lanxivi S5, with ink by Diamine called Pink Glitz. It has a lot of shimmer. I put the italic nib on and it handles the shimmer just fine. It is a beautiful pen.
