Agreed.a pen that works.

+1. I have a Vista. Sexy it is.In the process of getting a Lamy - its so sexy.
Their fountain pens range from $50 to $400 RRP, they are a bit cheaper on eBay though.+ how much are lammy pens?
But this is a thread discussing pen preferences. =)Oh no. Not another thread on pens. If you want to write legibly and quickly it is more the way you write more than the instrument you use. From my observation, including of my many students, past & present, most of them write attrociously and more often than not have a "wrong grip".
If you cannot write rapidly using a fountain pen, a ball pen, a gel pen, a 50 cent pen or a $2000 pen or whatever, don't blame your instrument. Remember the old saying (anyone familiar with it?): A bad carpenter always blames his tools.
I appreciate that nowadays the key thing is to be able to write quickly & legibly (For youe HSC exams) - not beautiful handwriting.
From my own observation common problems are:
- wrong grip
- poorly formed letters
- forming letters in awkward ways (one wrote '5' from bottom up in reverse to normal direction)
- irregular sizes (some big, some small)
- inconsistent orientation (some slanted this way, some that)
- ignorance on how to join letters for running writing
- writing in individual letters rather than running writing
