Is the nib removable? If i wanted in the future to remove the EF nib and replace it with the italic nib, is that possible?

The replacement nibs come with an included feed mechanism. It all comes in a plastic container that holds it securely. I just swapped nibs on my 580 with a nib that was put in the nib holder still wet with ink. A year later the nib was still fresh, didn't need to clean it.

Yes you can. One the the major qualities of this excellent pen is the easily interchangeable nibs from EF to W to italic.

Yes. It is very easy to change the nibs. I changed mine over to an italic nib. This website has a video on how easy it is: http://www.gouletpens.com/Hope that helpsHope that helps

Nope. Only fine nib is with the silver version, which actually looks great and writes very well. But as Schwizzle said, the medium is finer then other mediums. Goulet Pens has a video on YT with the differences.

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.

This one comes with an EF (Extra Fine) nib. You can search online for TWSBI nib sizes and you'll see examples. If you have nice clean and small handwriting this is the nib you'll need. If you have standard handwriting then i'de go F (Fine).. Both would be good for standard utility writing and work. They also have Medium, Broad, and Stub.

The short answer is "yes". Unlike the Lamy pens where you just change out the metal nib itself, what you actually change out on the vanishing point is more of an assembly or module. I regularly swap "F" and "M" modules between my two pen bodies. You can purchase a new nib module (usually with ink converter) on Amazon, generally for about $55. These very easily just slip in and out.

there was an extra nib in the package.... i have NOT tried that nib.... i just assumed it was exactly that... an extra nib. I will try it now though, that you mention this thought, to see it it is actually any different....

The pen nib is not retractable. The pens cap is threaded and can be screwed in on both ends when the cap is either opened or closed.

Mine came with a circular clamp type thing, like a ring with a gap in it, and the gap clamped onto the nib when you squeeze the ring. Basically it's like tweezers, so I'd say: use tweezers and grab that nib and pull. It's firmly seated but it does pull out.Haha, or teeth like Nancy says :-)

I've seen the nibs for the pens sold separately, but I'm unsure about the pens. I'm sorry.

That might depend on the seller. Some might be selling it new in the box (NIB), or out of the package. Mine came in a box (I didn't purchase it from Amazon). I would highly recommend that if you're concerned about packaging, contact the seller.

Mine was NIB, and did have the warranty. It is now the end of February 2013 and the unit has performed fllawlessly.

Yes. I just applied it today and within 15 minutes of annotating documents, I can already see the nib has become uneven with plastic shavings coming off.

Got a better answer. It can change nibs and comes with 1. Friend send me an extra 1 from his collection.

Yes, NIB and ready to use out of the box. It's a fantastic camera and I'd not hesitate to recommend to anyone. Enjoy it!

In the Vanishing Point, the nib and cartridge are attached. You just have to buy a size fine (which is "very" fine in Japanese pens I believe), and unscrew the pen and just replace the entire mechanism. If you look it up on google you will see. Great pen!
