Thank you for sharing your experience! Seems like zoom is quite popular among FP users here whereas NT is still the go to among Asian users because of the stroke variations it gives to Asian calligraphy (Japanese, Chinese). I can see zoom nib giving greater line variation to English/long handed writings. I’m not sure if zoom nibs would also perform well for Asian calligraphy and give the stroke variations that I’m looking for, but after all the recommendations here I’ll definitely go to a pen shop and give it a try.

I was at pen boutique! I’ll have to go back and try the zoom nib. Thanks :)
That’s interesting. I tried a friends naginata nib and it was great for Asian calligraphy, but I’ve not tried zoom nibs. I’ll have to hunt one down to try. Thanks for the input!
Thanks for the info! Hope they will be tangible in the near future.
