Nice, I've been looking at an opus 88, I'm wondering if they have a piston filler

They're all so-called Japanese eyedroppers - so they're filled directly by pipette or syringe (rather than drawing ink through the section), but have a shutoff valve to stop the flow problems and burping that can be associated with regular eyedroppers. This also allows the ink chamber to be shut off completely for travel etc, and to control flow.
I like them very much, and have four of them (oops). They're perfect for whenever you need high ink capacity for wide nibs or flex.

Oh no, you can customize them with any Jowo-compatible Flex Nib unit.
I have the "Secretary of De Flex" nib unit in mine.
It's amazing!!

Wow! That's some flex!
Yeah, this thing is absolutely amazing. All the stupid FPR flex nibs that I spent months of time and mountains of stress/frustration modifying for increased flex...
I could have just saved the money, stress and pain and bought one of these.
It, LITERALLY, cost a fraction of the money and time I spent trying to do it myself.

Oh no, you're correct. I spent an obscene amount of money trying to make the perfect flex nib from pre-made items...most failures, some successes.
The SODF nib unit does cost more than I paid for the Opus-88Demo pen...But still, the SODF nib is sooo worth it.
It does everything I needed, and I can do so much more when I do not require 2 pens to do it.

For my first one, I got the EF version. It's magnificent!!!
I'm buying the 1.1 stub unit next month, can't wait!!
I did indeed have to wait exactly one month from order to doorstep for the nib. It was worth the wait...sooooo worth the wait.
I have seen someone else's stub-SODF nib and it's absolutely amazing...where's that pic at....oh!
Here it is! Check these out!!

One of my favorites too! I've got two, use them both often, especially for long sessions. I used to think that I didn't like pens this big, but the Opus 88 taught me that it was really the weight of some pens that wasn't working for me. Both stock nibs wrote well out of the box. And they have amazing customer service--the shutoff valve knob broke off one of mine through no fault of the pen, and I wrote them to ask if I could buy a new barrel, and they sent one to me for free.

M: I came here for a good argument.
A: No you didn't; no, you came here for an argument.
M: An argument isn't just contradiction.
A: It can be.
M: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
A: No it isn't.
M: Yes it is! It's not just contradiction.
A: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
M: Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.'
A: Yes it is!
M: No it isn't!
