Review Title: 14K Flex Extra Fine nib

I was having trouble deciding between a Flex Fine or Extra Fine nib and GourmetPen's video on YouTube helped me to go with the Extra Fine. The nib flexes from EF to M-B which is as far I was comfortable pushing it. I have two vintage Omas pens and overall I prefer the original Omas nibs to these Scribo nibs. My particular Scribo nib is not particularly wet but it is a smooth writer and I find the Campanula color beautiful and true to the pictures on the listing. I give this pen a 4 star rating as I think the pricing is excessive for what you get. However, if you want a new flex nib, this is probably the best option out there.

Review Title: Excellent and very beautiful pen

When I opened the box and took out the pen, it took my breath away - it looks exactly like the photos which is unusual for a pen with chatoyance - beautiful colours. Most of my collection is quite classic and not very colourful and my preference is fine nibs, so I decided to move out of my comfort zone with this very impressive pen with an 18kt broad nib. I do not regret it. It is wet, and so smooth and an absolute pleasure to write with, the broad nib shows off the inks beautifully. I have small hands and it is a large pen, but very comfortable in my hand and I am loving writing with it. I highly recommend this pen for writing just for fun and professional work. I would love to add another Scribo to my collection at some point. Thank you Joost for introducing this brand to me, I am hooked.

This is another beautiful pen in the La Dotta line by Scribo. I bought it with a 18k broad nib. The color is a subdued purple, an elegant, marbled pattern with a wonderful chattoyance. The body is smooth and comfortable to grip for long sessions of writing. The ink flow is very wet, as is the characteristic of Scribo fountain pens. Even the 18k nib has some give, although not as flexible as the 14k nib. I recommend this pen highly.

The Scribo La Dotta Campanula is a beautiful wine color. The body of the pen is extremely comfortable to grip for long writing sessions. I got the 18k stiffer nib but it still has a good amount of feedback, which is pleasant. The pen write flawlessly with heavy ink flow.

Review Title: One week in use

Fountain pens fitting my hand size are typically like Pelikan M600 or Aurora Optima. This Scribo la Dotta is definitely bigger - but still fitting perfectly for my hand! The grip section has perfect ergonomics so that holding the pen and writing are pure pleasure! I chose the 14ct flexible nib which allows both, writing fine lines of constant width and variation that starts already with slight pressure.
Nib and feed are in perfect balance, allowing to draw well defined lines on not perfect paper and support flexing the nib without railroading. The original Scribo ink is, to my taste, a bit too wet for this pen. My next fill will be with a more dry ink. I rate this nib among the best three in my collection.
The unique design and the overall size of the pen is a bit out of my preference - I like it small and stealthy. However, the material of the Campanula is of amazing colour with deep reflections. The resin is semi-translucent allowing to see the ink level - that's great!
