The Aurora Optima is a great fountain pen. It looks good and writes very well. It is quite a small pen. It's just big enough for me, but for someone with very big hands it might be too small.

I bought the Optima for my birthday and have written with it a lot since then. It could become my new favourite fountain pen. The Optima has an M nib, my Aurora 88 has an F nib. The two will complement each other well.

Aufgrund schlechter Erfahrungen mit italienischen Federn habe ich bisher Aurora "ausgelassen" - ein Fehler, das ist eine großartige Feder. Hervorragendes Feed-Back, nicht zu viel, nicht zu wenig, macht viel Spaß beim Schreiben.
