[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 539303, member: 1365"] The Omniflex nib is both loved and hated. I’d start out with a Noodler Ahab or Conrad to start with in a flex nib. I have several of each and particularly like the ebonite Konrad. I have a Conklin Omniflex and find it no better or worse than the Noodler flex nib. But nibs vary. I think someone starting out would be very well served by investing in a stub nib of 1.1mm to 1.5mm width. The stub is wide enough to give great line variation but smooth ground one the leading nib edges to provide a smooth writing feel. I think the flex is harder to get used to...but again, I’m lazy.
