Pilot Falcon SEF - SF and FA nib comparison

[@artist-reader]

So many other videos = talk, talk, etc and one is still left uncertain. This video is silent and tells by showing so much more and is very helpful. Thank you. The best. Now I know for certain which Falcon pen I shall be adding to my FA.

[@MarcoChiari]

Thank you for your kind words ! Happy new year Marco and go with Falcon Elabo

[@artist-reader]

@@MarcoChiari thanks. Having a highly customized Pilot Heritage 912 FA nib I've gone with the Pilot Falcon SF which from the demo appears less radical a flex from my custom (which I love) and suited to on location work; a bit more robust yet still flexy. :)

a trick: watch series on flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.

[@adamonyx8167]

@Nolan Bridger definitely, have been watching on flixzone for since december myself :)

[@rogerwilder8185]

@Nolan Bridger definitely, have been using Flixzone for years myself :D

[@joevillarreal3378]

Thank You! This answered lots of questions and helped me pick a nib.

[@volcanowb]

Fantastic! The nib comparison is perfect! Thanks!

[@MarcoChiari]

thank you for watch - ciao Marco

[@willnettles2051]

Brilliant. Thank you. Answered all of my questions. The grid 10mm? Terrific that full frame it's almost 1:1. Grazi

Quando non si parla diviene possibile dire di più. Questo video lo conferma, e sarebbe bello ve ne fossero così anche tra quelli recenti e da venire.

[@MarcoChiari]

ciao, in sintonia con quanto dici ho creato da qualche tempo una serie che si intitola "lo scrittoio" nel quale sono le penne a parlare. Sarebbe bello poter fare molte più cose, ma il tempo è quello che è...ciao e grazie per seguire il canale - marco

Very useful and informative comparison. Thanks for posting.

[@MarcoChiari]

thanks for watching ! ciao

[@jlaurson]

Thanks for the quietude!

Your handwriting is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing.

[@alessiopolito1429]

Ciao Marco what pen would you recommend me for sketching? Tia Ps Im not on budget thank you

[@lawrobi]

Do you recommend the pen falcon medium? I don't see a lot of videos about that nib size. Is it because the Extra fine and fine are better?

[@Cortesevasive]

more visible lane variation probably, sef is the most unique imo

[@jp2503]

The SM has almost no variation whatsoever and isn't quite soft enough, it always feels like it's pushing back where the nib angle bends.

[@ivankarpov9552]

The review is just terrific! Many thanks!

[@MarcoChiari]

Thank you Ivan !

[@dougfishback3116]

Very helpful. Thank you for your time and trouble.

[@MarcoChiari]

Hi Doug thank you for watching :-) ciao

[@CordedTires]

Grazie Mille!

[@MarcoChiari]

Grazie a te

[@carlotassi2747]

Ma è possibile cambiare il pennino? Io ho una SEF e vorrei provare a prendere un pennino SF per cambiarlo....

[@MarcoChiari]

il costo del ricambio ha quasi il prezzo della penna intera, tantovale comprare una nuova stilgorafica con pennino diverso...

[@임선미-d9u]

글씨를 정말 잘쓰시네요^^ 보기좋게 비교해주셔서 고맙습니다~

[@MarcoChiari]

thank you for watching, ciao !

It looks like the Pilot SEF would work well for copperplate calligraphy with maybe Walnut ink?

[@MarcoChiari]

the Pilot SEF is the fountain pen that, together with a few others, is closest to the copperplate style, but remains distant from the quality of the intinction calligraphic nibs. I have never tried it with an iron gall ink :-)

[@LuvsSno]

@@MarcoChiari isn't certain types of iron gall ink the kind that can damage nibs?

[@davidmathews2124]

The only issue here is that none of these nibs are intended to be used as flex nibs…right? Long term or perhaps even medium term use as such has been reported by many to damage the nibs, first come the micro cracks then the nib is “sprung”. Also note that the 742 FA nib has numerous reports of slow feeding resulting in slow starts and/or railroading so a wet ink like Iroshizuku is recommended…when you don’t “cheat” by using it like a dip pen. The 743 FA nib is larger than that used in the 742 FA and fairs better re feed. This vid doesn’t show how any of these excellent pens fair when using the on board ink supply and feed. Aside from my caveat emptor comments I applaud this vid…quite the excellent job.

[@MarcoChiari]

Hi David, I agree, this video is set up for a cross-sectional comparison of some Pilot nibs used as initially stated by intuition. I am well aware that the size of the 742 nib is different from the 743 and 74 series. In the channel you can find the tests of these pens without "deception" as you say. I will shortly publish the WA MS PO SU nib tests. Thanks for the passage on the canal - Ciao Marco

[@sumadomi]

That dip at 14:00 😕

[@MarcoChiari]

Yes ! very dip

[@sumadomi]

The grid size is 10mm wide?

[@MarcoChiari]

yes really 10mm

[@Xyrium]

Thank you!

[@ShahriarFarkhan]

You dip the pen into ink at 14:00 makes me thumbs down this video. By dipping the pen you've totally misconstrued how well the pen would write on a daily basis. Unfortunately, these pens have a reputation of having feeds that can't keep up with the nib. Anyone can dip a pen and make it write but can the pen write like that consistently being fed by the ink inside? How about making a video showing that for us that illustrates how they perform in the way they were intended, without dipping. Otherwise, this is a pointless video as no one uses them this way...

[@MarcoChiari]

La tua osservazione è corretta. Prima di fare una recensione su una penna stilografica, la uso con cartucce, converter, o comunque caricata ad inchiostro. Provo almeno 6 inchiostri che sono quelli che conosco bene e mi servono da riferimento. Purtroppo per ragoni tecniche non mi è possibile fare le riprese a pezzetti per ciascuna penna,...e cosi nel video mostro solo la parte ad initinzione per dare un'idea di come esse scrivono, commentando i ltest di lunga durata che ho fatto precedentemente. Ti ringrazio per seguire il canale - ciao Marco Your observation is correct. Before making a review on a fountain pen, use it with cartridges, converters, or otherwise loaded with ink. I try at least 6 inks that are the ones I know well and I need a reference. Unfortunately for technical spells I can not do the shooting in pieces for each pen, ... and so in the video I show only the part to initiation to give an idea of how they write, commenting on the long-term ltest I've done previously . Thank you for following the channel - hello Marco

[@ShahriarFarkhan]

Marco Chiari If you use them, then show us how their feeds compare. That would be more accurate and useful because no one I know dips their fountain pens to write...

이 양반도 나만큼 악필이군...... ㅋ

Grazie per il tuo commento :-)
