[Leica] Re: if my leica was a fountian pen which fountianpenwouldit be?

[summarex at hotmail.com (Javier Perez)]

Yup
The 51's all I use. Artist types say the nib is too rigid but they're fine 
for writing
My father used his 51 for years till he switched to a ballpoint. My mom used 
a 21.
My grandpa had a 552 Sheraton.
