I have nearly zero pens with their native nibs. 99% of my pens get nibs ground, mostly to stubs or cursive italics.
I also like to spread the work around, so when I saw that Mark had set up shop I was happy to send a couple pens over to http://www.nibgrinder.com/
I had an Omas Paragon Burkina with a factory EF (functional but boring) and a Bexley Poseidon Grande II with a factory steel B which is something I very commonly send out for CI-ifying.

I just got my pens back from Mark, and I am _extremely_ pleased.
Mark turned the Omas into the finest XXF I've ever used. I think it is finer than the Sailor (IIRC) UEF I used to have.
The CI on the Bexley is incredibly smooth and expressive.

A phone camera is all I have handy, but here is a photo. The paper is Rhodia with a 5mm grid.
Thanks Mark! More pens will definitely be coming your way.
