How "fine" is the fine tip? How does it compare to the other Lamy tip widths (extra-fine, medium)?

The fine isn't quite fine enough. If I were to do it again, I would order the extra-fine.

It is not a fine tip in my opinion. It is smooth and has a generous width in its imprint, so for this reason it could easily be called a medium.

I haven't measured the nib, but the line produced by the fine nib seems nearly like a broad nib to me. The difference between Lamy's "fine" and "extra-fine" nibs is dramatic, to say the least. If you're looking for a fine point, buy the extra-fine version of this pen.

"fine"tip is not fine enough.If you'd like really fine, probably extra-fine is more suitable

Kind of medium. The tips are conical. The top is about 1/8" and it narrows to a round point about 1/32" wide. Similar to (but fatter than) a "Sharpie" marker. You couldn't really write with it comfortably, but it isn't as large as you'd normally call "broad tipped." With light pressure it gives a pretty thin line, then turning the pen sideways you can do broad strokes.

Mine's nib is labelled "A". It's line is Fine, I would say. I also have a different model Pelikan with a nib labelled "M". The Pelikano Junior's line is definitely finer.According to http://www.nibs.com/TippingSizespage.htm, the Pelikano fine is 0.4mm and the medium is 0.7mm.

The 300RT is a M 1.0 mm according to the package... it is not the FINE line, but if you need 1.0 mm then this is a great pen... writes smooth and clear. I love them........... not much $ so don't sweat it!!

Sorry, I can't help. I bought my pen with just the one nib; it's on the finer side rather than the broader, but not really fine.

No. The wideness of the writing with a fountain pen depends not only on the thickness of the point, but on the type of paper and ink used too. There is not universal agreement among pen manufacturers about how thick is a fine, a medium or a broad point.

The box describes it as Fine, not extra fine, but in my experience it writes with a very fine line. Very nice pen.

I think they're medium; I know they're not fine. My experience with the pens isn't good. The twisting action used to move the tip into writing position doesn't always work. The pen assembly just isn't well made. I'd look elsewhere.

I think it's only one cartridge size for vector fountain pen (http://www.amazon.com/Parker-Permanent-Cartridges-Fountain-3011031PP/dp/B0017DAAUO/ref=pd_sim_op_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=1HJZ13J5X5QXF828XBRY). Medium or fine it's the size of the nib.

Good question. I ordered both Ultra Fine Point & Extra Fine Point so I could decide which I preferred. They both appear the same on paper as far as the thickness of the writing. The Ultra Fine Point has a smaller point holder. The Extra Fine Point is shaped more like the regular Fine Point.

Medium refers to point width. It would be broader than a pen point. It might be a flat end.

Hi Muriel, I would call this a Medium, although I prefer a Large, or Wide Nib, this one does a nice job. Nice for a small gift, or for personal use.

In my opinion, it seems to be a normal type of pen , which would make it a medium. It is not a fine point and bold is one I never used.

Sorry do not know size in mm, but it is not an extra fine point,it is between medium and fine point.

This Sharpie is more like a .05 Sharpie. You can use less pressure to get a thinner line. My .01 Micron is not as thick as this Fine point Sharpie. The tip is not as big as a .05 Micron but more than a .01 Sharpie. I think you'd like it.

The extra fine does not write that wet. I have not experienced any bleed on the otherside of the paper. If you want it to write wetter, I would suggest a wider tip.

Fine point/0.7. I usually prefer a medium point ink pen, but I do like the way these write!
