In this video I talk about what I think are great fountain pen options for artists looking for that perfect pen for drawing: German pens from the 1950's and 60's that have semi-flexible nibs.

Here are the pens I discuss:

Pelikan 140
Pelikan 400nn
Montblanc Monte Rosa 042G
Montblanc 342G
Osmi 883
Osmi 884

Rick Propas's online store Thepenguin.com has a large selection of vintage Pelikan pens.

I also frequent the German Pen Board, penboard.de/shop
