Oh, and @Nico1970 what's your next Jinhao?
I'm also currently test driving the Jinhao 599 in transparent black medium.
Furthermore, because of your technicolour post of the other day, I found myself strangely - and utterly helplessly - drawn into purchasing an 8nr multicoloured pack of the same!
EDIT - not all for me, you understand...
Read this last week and this happened today.
The x750 arrived today in just under a week and for a couple of quid. The ink was from europens and the squared pad from lidl. The pen is fantastic for the money and I was worried I might need micro mesh to smooth the Nib but it's fine. Rinsed it out before the first fill away we go. Nice solid pen and well finished. Currently laid up at home from an operation so going to teach myself some modern calligraphy.
I also have an x599 on the way too. I found both from eBay sellers with fine or medium fine nibs.
Well and truly enabled but for that kind of money I don't mind at all. My eldest son has his eye on it. Since they no longer seem to teach handwriting in school it's a habit I won't mind encouraging.

Any tips for ink? Ordered diamine in majestic blue to start.

I was given a 750 last Christmas from my friend's girlfriend (alright guys, he knew about it!) and I have to say I hadn't heard of them, these are fabulous pens with a nib that is as smooth as silk to write with. I too like Nico have a number of pens, some more expensive than others but in relation to comparisons this writes as well as my Visconti or any of the Watermans (I like them) that I possess.
On a separate note, SBREBROWN videos on youtube are a source of excellent reviews on fountain pens and inks fully recommended!!
Mine was a touch scratchy, but I smoothed it on some micromesh the other day, and it's improved it noticeably. I think it was in inner shoulders of the tines that were slightly exposed, as it seemed to want to tramline on strokes close to the vertical, and scratched on horizontal strokes.
