I'm new the forum - first post! I just started back using fountain pens have three inexpensive pens, a Pilot Metropolitan with a fine nib, a Lamy Safari with a medium nib and a Lamy AL-Star with an extra-fine nib. I just got the AL-Star and ordered it primarily because I find the Safari a little light in weight (just a quibble - I still like the pen). One thing I noticed is that the Lamy extra-fine does not draw as thin a line as the Pilot fine nib. I was hoping for something a little finer.

I'm wondering if anyone can point to a pen manufacturer that provides a finer nib than I can get with the Pilot. At this point I'd like to stay under $50 as I'm still figuring out what I like/don't like in pens.

Thanks
